Correlating Malaria Parasite Prevalence with Slide Positive Rates and Annual Parasite Incidence in Bareilly Districts

Abstract

This study digs into malaria rates by measuring both the Spleen Rate (S.P.R.) and the Annual Parasite Incidence (A.P.I.). Plasmodium vivax (Pv) infections turned up in nearly every area surveyed. Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), on the other hand, showed up only at low levels in a few spots during the study. When comparing regions, one rural area stood out with the highest S.P.R., while a different rural area posted the highest A.P.I. over the same time frame
