Abstract

The Arunachal Pradesh state in India is epidemic for malaria, caused by P. vivax and P. falciparum. Despite the implementation of several control strategies, the outbreak of malaria in the state is mainly due to lack of proper information regarding the disease. Hence, we completed a database to help implement appropriate control strategy for the public health officials in Arunachal Pradesh.
