Of these patients 7l.5% had falciparum malaria and 28.5% had vivax malaria. The 5~9 years age group had the highest percentage of malarial parasite positivity (58.6%). Splenomegaly was found more frequently in children than in adults. By occupation, malaria was most prevalent among woodcutters who worked in forests. Forest dwellers in general had a significantly higher (p<0.001) malaria positivity rate than did those persons residing in non-forested areas. Indigenous tribal people had significantly lower (p<0.05) malaria-positivity than did Bengalee settlers. Illiteracy and low incomes, customary reasons for failure to practice prevention, were associated with higher prevalence of malaria., 日本熱帯医学会雑誌, vol.22(1), pp.13-19; 1994}, pages = {13--19}, title = {THE PREVALENCE OF MALARIA IN AN ENDEMIC AREA OF BANGLADESH}, volume = {22}, year = {1994} }
