摘要

To the Editor: In the fi eld of ma-laria epidemic early warning, there ex-ists an unfortunate but frequently ac-curate perception that health systems in many affected countries learn of epidemics by way of the popular press rather than through formal disease sur-veillance systems. Malaria epidemics are often easily recognized (albeit too late) by laypersons (1), but most rou-tine disease surveillance systems lack the ability to provide accurate, timely indications of aberrations in case num-bers. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set specifi c targets for early detection and control of malaria epidemics as part of a wider strategy to cut the global impact of malaria in half by 2010 (2). We describe experiences during a recent epidemic in southwest Uganda and examine the performance of a pilot early detection system
