在儿童中进行了疟疾流行率和发病率的研究（>1岁儿童> 1000个寄生虫/μ L，婴儿>500个/μ L）和间日疟原虫（所有年龄>500个寄生虫/μ L）的特异性和敏感性均> 90%。与流行率数据一样，疟疾发病率具有高度季节性; 80%的恶性疟原虫临床感染发生在雨季，66%的间日疟原虫临床感染发生在旱季。混合感染罕见。疟疾是儿童发病的一个重要原因
Studies of the prevalence and incidence of malaria were conducted in children 1000 parasites/mu L in children >1 year old and >500/mu L in infants) and P. vivax (>500 parasites/mu L at all ages) were both associated with a specificity and sensitivity of >90%. Like prevalence data, malaria morbidity was highly seasonal; 80% of clinical P. falciparum infections occurred in the wet season and 66% of clinical P. vivax in the dry season. Mixed infections were rare. Malaria was an important cause of morbidity with children
