Malaria Transmission Potential in the Three Gorges Reservoir of the Yangtze River, China.

The article presents a study conducted to analyze the transmission of malaria in the Yangtze River located in China after the construction of three Gorges Reservoirs. In study six villages including Kaixian, Fengjie, Wanzhou were selected for investigating the transmission of malaria in the reservoir. It mentions that the transmission potential was estimated by the use of mathematical modeling and estimation of the local malaria situation. It reports that factors which influenced the transmission potential were analyzed by the Poisson regression analysis in combination with the Grey Systematic theory. The result revealed that the risk of malaria can be forecasted by transmission of malaria.
