Spleens and holoendemic malaria in West New Guinea

Spleens and holoendemic malaria in West New Guinea

D METSELAAR. Bull World Health Organ. 1956.

Abstract

The author describes the results obtained in recent malaria surveys in West New Guinea, where what is essentially holoendemic malaria prevails. However, the spleen-rate in adults differs markedly from what is regarded as normal under holoendemic conditions according to the definition put forward at the Malaria Conference in Equatorial Africa in 1950. The author therefore concludes that that definition is not properly applicable to New Guinea.
