    Abstract:
    According to the case reporting system, the number of malaria cases accounted for 73,955 in the nation (Taiwan not included) in 1992, the incidence being 6.391 per a hundred thousand, and the lethal cases caused by malaria were 52 in number. In comparison with the data of 1991, the case number declined by 27,681 and the incidence, by 27.99%. In areas where there were no reported malaria cases or the incidence was below 1/1000, the residents totalled 1.0566 billion, whereas incidence of 1-10/1000 was noted in areas with people of 84.5 million, and 10.1-100/1000 in areas with people of 16 million. In a border city of Yunnan where resided merely 10,000 people, the incidence was more than 100 per 10,000. In the southern part, except for the resurgence of the disease in Guangxi, a decrease in the incidence at various extents was demonstrated in the other 6 provinces. Nonetheless, incidence fluctuation was revealed in some prefectures and cities, and the occurrence of several focal outbreaks was also recorded. Malaria cases in the preceding 7 provinces/autonomous region totalled 55,896, amounting to 75.6% of the entire number of malaria cases in China. In the middle and eastern parts, apart from the increase in case number due to the expansion of exogenous cases in Hunan, steady diminution of malaria incidence was evidenced in the other 8 provinces/municipality. The reported malaria cases for these areas were 17,819, accounting for 24.1% of the total cases in the country.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
