  • Malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion
    his report provides an overview of the epidemiological patterns of malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Tfrom 1998 to 2007, and highlights critical challenges facing National Malaria Control Programmes and partners as they move towards malaria elimination as a programmatic goal. Epidemiological data provided by malaria programmes show a drastic decline in malaria deaths and confirmed malaria cases over the last 10 years in the GMS. More than half of confirmed malaria cases and deaths in the GMS occur in Myanmar. However, reporting methods and data management are not comparable between countries despite the effort made by WHO to harmonize data collection, analysis and reporting among Member States. Malaria is concentrated in forested/forest-fringe areas of the Region, mainly along international borders. This providing a strong rationale to develop harmonized cross-border elimination programmes in conjunction with national efforts. Across the Mekong Region, the declining efficacy of recommended first-line antimalarials, e.g. artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) against falciparum malaria on the Cambodia-Thailand border; the prevalence of counterfeit and substandard antimalarial drugs; the Malaria lack of health services in general and malaria services in particular in remote settings; and the lack of information and services in the Greater Mekong Subregion: targeting migrants and mobile population present important barriers to reach or maintain malaria elimination programmatic Regional and Country Profiles goals.

TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE DURING TEST With lack of CMAC transport vehicle big enough to move demining machine from port to the test field and via versa, Transido which is a private transportation company, had been hired to provide this services under close cooperation with CMAC. During transportation, transido took care of transport, safety and insurance while CMAC would conduct the offload and reload the machine to/from truck trailer or to/from ship at international Sihanouk ville port. Road assessment and route selection prior to transportation will be done by CMAC and transido. Transport compahy address: TRANNSINDO JAPAN CAMBODIA CO., LTD. #29, MAO TSE TOUNG STREET, PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA TEL: +855.23.217061 FAX: +855.23.216524 The selection of the transport route is primary related to total gross weight of the machine (in combination with truck trailer) and the condition of road particularly the condition of the bridge. To open access road to the test site at Siem Reap, a poor, weak wooden bridge was dismantle and a new concrete bridge strong enough to support the gross weight of the demining machines was constructed. In other area, steel plates had been temporary laid on top of the existing pipe culvert to strengthen the structure and potholes had been refilled by earth/rock or leveled by CMAC bulldozer.

  • Third Quarter 2006
    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa Field Report Public Information Room (PIR) Road Trips Third Quarter 2006 One PIR road trip was made this quarter to three sub-districts in Battambang province. The trips scheduled to Prey Veng and Siem Reap provinces in August were postponed because roads were impassible due to flooding. No trips were scheduled for September, which was still in the flood season (making travel difficult) as well as the rice transplanting season (making it difficult for people to take time to attend meetings). Background The purpose of these field trips to villages throughout Cambodia is to distribute materials related to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC, the Khmer Rouge Tribunal), show films on the regime, and hold discussions on sexual abuse that occurred during Democratic Kampuchea. Staff members also answer questions about the Tribunal during these meetings. When visiting villages, the team members always give a short talk before showing the films. The topics cover: 1) an introduction to the Documentation Center of Cambodia, 2) the purpose of the PIR team’s visit to the village, 3) a presentation on the background and developments of the ECCC, and 4) an introduction to the film(s) the villagers are about to see. After the films are screened, the team members ask if anyone had been sexually abused during Democratic Kampuchea, or if they knew anyone or had heard about anyone who had. People are also encouraged to make comments on the film(s), ask questions about the upcoming Khmer Rouge Tribunal, voice their opinion of the need to educate the younger generation on the history of Democratic Kampuchea, and other topics.

    Municipality and Province Pailin Province Investment Information Pailin Province Pailin Road Network 79 Municipality and Province Pailin Province Investment Information I. Introduction to the Province Pailin is a province on the northern edge of the Cardamom Mountains in western Cambodia, 371 km from Phnom Penh on National Road No. 5 and No. 57, and 25km from the Thai border. The province shares a border with Battambang Province to the north, south and east, and with Thailand to the west. The total land area of province is 1,062 km² divided into 3 regions: Z 403 km² is productive land for agricultural cash crops such as rubber, cotton, coffee, corn, potato, nut, sesame and fruits. Three quarters of agricultural area is farm land and paddy field for which drainage is available in both wet and dry seasons. Z 501 km² are conservation areas with forests which are rich with valleys, waterfalls, and wildlife species as well as areas that can produce electricity. Z 158 km² (15 800 ha) are the residential areas. With the total area of 15,800ha divided between 14,536 households, each occupying more than 1ha of land. In addition, Pailin is a province well known for its precious gemstone and mining though most of those gemstones were mined in the past. There are rich natural tourism spots in the province such as scenic mountains, waterfalls and lush bamboo forests, and further development of eco-tourism is expected to be a key industry in the province.

  • Spatio-Temporal Associations Between Deforestation and Malaria

Leveraging village-level health facility surveillance data and forest cover data in a spatio-temporal modeling framework, we found evidence that deforestation is associated with short-term increases, but long-term decreases confirmed malaria case incidence in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). We identified strong associations with deforestation measured within 30 km of villages but not with deforestation in the near (10 km) and immediate (1 km) vicinity. Results appear driven by deforestation in densely forested areas and were more pronounced for infections with Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) than for *For correspondence: Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax). These findings highlight the influence of forest activities on malaria [email protected] transmission in the GMS.
