The south eastern part of the Republic of Niger was ecologically damaged by the dryness since 1971. Rainfall decreased by 30 to 40% as compared to 1961-70 and lake Chad retreated 100 km to the south. Now it does not reach any more the Republic of Niger. Malaria studies have been carried out in urban and suburban places in Zinder and in the Diffa area at the extreme east. In Zinder parasitic indexes (PI) after the rainy season were around 30% to 10% according to the situation of the corner in respect with surface waters during the rains. In dry season the index fell to 3%. In Diffa in a part of the city at high risk because lining the Komadougou river, PI was only 6.7% in October after the rains. Before 1970 PI recorded in Niamey were up to 50%. In Diffa area they were of 49% in N'Guigmi and 32% in Bosso, ecologically similar to Diffa. Obviously there was a sharp decrease of malaria which could be due to the disappearance of An. funestus after 1970. It was one of the main malaria vectors. Its larvae were developing in pools remaining after the rains with heavy standing vegetation. These breeding sites have been destroyed by both dryness and human activities. Now the area has became hypoendemic and is suitable for epidemic because population has not much immunity. A surveillance system for epidemic control should be settle.
