为了确定坦桑尼亚姆万扎附近Kome岛（维多利亚湖）学童中的疟疾状况，采用手指刺戳法对10所小学的244名学童进行了血液调查。研究对象为6-8岁的123名男孩和121名女孩。每位患儿仅做1张血涂片。疟疾总患病率为38.1%（阳性93例），性别差异不显著。但是，伊兹达波小学的检出率最高（51.4%），其次是伊森伊小学（48.3%）和布戈罗小学（46.7%）。Muungano小学（16.7%）和Nyamiswi小学（16.7%）的患病率最低。这些差异与学校在岛上的位置高度相关；周边地区的患病率较高，而中心地区的患病率较低。恶性疟原虫为优势种（38.1%;93/244），间日疟原虫混合感染比例较小（1.6%;4/244）。结果显示，坦桑尼亚Kome岛小学生疟疾高发，迫切需要控制该地区的疟疾。
In order to determine the status of malaria among schoolchildren on Kome Island (Lake Victoria), near Mwanza, Tanzania, a total of 244 schoolchildren in 10 primary schools were subjected to a blood survey using the fingerprick method. The subjected schoolchildren were 123 boys and 121 girls who were 6-8 years of age. Only 1 blood smear was prepared for each child. The overall prevalence of malaria was 38.1% (93 positives), and sex difference was not remarkable. However, the positive rate was the highest in Izindabo Primary School (51.4%) followed by Isenyi Primary School (48.3%) and Bugoro Primary School (46.7%). The lowest prevalence was found in Muungano Primary School (16.7%) and Nyamiswi Primary School (16.7%). These differences were highly correlated with the location of the school on the Island; those located in the peripheral area revealed higher prevalences while those located in the central area showed lower prevalences. Plasmodium falciparum was the predominant species (38.1%; 93/244), with a small proportion of them mixed-infected with Plasmodium vivax (1.6%; 4/244). The results revealed that malaria is highly prevalent among primary schoolchildren on Kome Island, Tanzania, and there is an urgent need to control malaria in this area.
