A single cross-sectional seroepidemiological survey of malaria antibody was conducted in 1982 in Klang District, Rayong Province in three villages under different phases of malaria control activity to determine whether a single survey could be used to delineate malaria endemicity in Thailand and to compare the usefulness of ELISA and the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) in the assessment of malaria endemicity. Village 11 was a control area with high infection rate with an annual slide positive rate of 16.3% in 1981. Village 6 was also a control area but was in the late attack phase in which residual insecticide spraying has been ceased since 1976. Village 7 was a consolidation area. Finger-tipped blood was collected from 189, 191 and 132 individuals from villages 11, 6 and 7 respectively, and the plasma tested for anti-P. falciparum antibody with ELISA and IHA. With ELISA, it was shown that the seropositive rate in population of village 11 (84.6%) was significantly higher than those of other two villages (48.9% in village 6 and 28.8% in village 7). After age stratification, it was shown that the differences were observed in every age group except in the greater than or equal to 45 year age group of village 6. With IHA, a significantly higher seropositive rates in population of village 11 was evident when they were compared with the corresponding age groups of 6-14, 15-29 and 30-44 years in village 7, and the age group of less than or equal to 5 year in village 6.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D003430 Cross-Sectional Studies Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
