Active community and self-reporting surveillance techniques have been used to describe the
dynamics of febrile illness and associated malaria infection in children aged 2 to 15 years
from a rural area of Madang Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG). Both history of fever and
fever in association with parasitaemia appeared to be reliable indicators of malaria morbidity
in this endemic area. Parasite density was observed to be a major determinant of mild
malarial disease at both the population level and within an individual. Age-specific …
