Factors Contributing to the Pre-Elimination of Malaria from Hainan Island, China, 1986-2009.

ABSTRACT: Malaria was endemic in Hainan Island, China, for a lengthy period before its elimination.

Annual data were collected on the incidence of malaria, the number of residents protected by drugs (RPD), the number of residents protected by vector control, the presence of Anopheles minimus and Anopheles dirus, the annual per capita income of rural residents, major cash crop (rubber plantation) areas, the literacy rate of adult rural residents, and the rate of reinforced concrete house co
