Abstract

To analyze the channels of going abroad of imported malaria patients in Jiangsu Province, so as to provide the evidence for the control of imported malaria and health intervention for high-risk population. The data of imported malaria cases in Jiangsu Province in 2015 were collected and the channels of going abroad were analyzed. The Quantum GIS 1.7.4 software was applied to map. Totally 405 imported cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2015, and the cases increased by 14.1% compared with those in 2014. All the patients were migrant workers. The migrant workers were mostly sent abroad by construction companies [43.21% (175/405)]. The dispatching companies were mainly concentrated in Taizhou, Lianyungang, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou cities, accounting for 6.17% (25/405), 3.21% (13/405), 2.72% (11/405) and 2.22% (9/405), respectively. Totally 176 (43.46%) patients returned to China having accompanied workers, and 1.21% (9/745) of accompanied workers were found having symptoms of malaria later. It is difficult to monitor malaria in overseas migrant works in Jiangsu Province. The channels of going abroad of migrant workers are various and complicated, formulating the main difficulty and challenge of imported malaria control.
