尼日利亚政府和世界卫生组织在卡诺州加尔基区联合开展的疟疾流行病学和控制研究项目的目标之一是在采取任何控制措施之前研究基线流行病学。本文分析了项目数据中 3 个物种之间的关系。存在的疟原虫、恶性疟原虫、三日疟原虫和卵形疟原虫。与其他物种不存在相比，在存在恶性疟原虫或三日疟原虫的情况下，寄生虫血症的可能性更大。在恶性疟原虫阳性的人群中，寄生虫血症密度较高的人也比恶性疟原虫血症密度较低的人更有可能感染三日疟原虫。恶性疟原虫和三日疟原虫的流行有明显的季节性变化。
The research project on the epidemiology and control of malaria conducted in the Garki District, Kano State, jointly by the government of Nigeria and the WHO, included among its objectives the study of the baseline epidemiology prior to the introduction of any control measures. The present paper analyzes the project''s data with respect to the relationship among the 3 spp. of Plasmodium present, P. falciparum, P. malariae and P. ovale. Parasitemia with P. falciparum or P. malariae is more likely in the presence than in the absence of the other species. Among persons positive for P. falciparum those with a higher density of parasitemia are also more likely to have P. malariae than those with a lower density of P. falciparum parasitemia. There is a pronounced seasonal alternation in prevalence between P. falciparum and P. malariae.
