Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the requirements for malaria control and elimination efforts. It is applicable to the assessment of malaria prevention phase targets in provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities where malaria is prevalent in China. This standard is mandatory for all relevant public health and disease control organizations. It references WS 259 for diagnostic criteria.
Technical requirements
GB 26345-2010 establishes the mandatory criteria for achieving different stages of malaria management, categorized into control, basic elimination, and elimination. It defines specific thresholds for blood examination rates, positive slide rates, and annual incidence rates to evaluate the effectiveness of local disease prevention programs. For the control phase, the standard requires specific proportions of fever patients to undergo blood tests, alongside maintaining comprehensive epidemic records and dedicated personnel. Counties must meet strict annual incidence rate limits to qualify for this stage. The basic elimination phase mandates that all clinically diagnosed and suspected malaria cases undergo laboratory pathogen testing. Local health facilities must have trained personnel proficient in microscopy and maintain complete management and monitoring archives. To achieve full elimination, all fever cases of unknown etiology must be laboratory-tested, and all imported cases must be investigated, treated, and tracked for specified periods. A region is officially recognized as malaria-eliminated only after maintaining zero indigenous cases for three consecutive years.
Testing methods
The standard relies on laboratory malaria parasite pathogen testing using microscopy for diagnostic confirmation. It also outlines specific calculation methods, detailed in Appendix A, for determining the annual blood examination ratio of fever patients and the annual malaria incidence rate within a given population.
