DIRUS IN LAO PDR MALARIA TRANSMISSION BY ANOPHELES DIRUS IN ATTAPEU PROVINCE, LAO PDR B Sidavong1, I Vythilingam2, R Phetsouvanh1, ST Chan2, T Phonemixay1, S Lokman Hakim2 and S Phompida1 1Center for Malaria, Parasitology and Entomology, Vientiane, Lao PDR; 2Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract. A study was carried out in four malaria-endemic villages in Attapeu Province, in the southern region of Lao PDR. All-night human landing collections were carried out in May, August, and October 2002, to determine malaria vectors. At the same time, mass blood surveys were also carried out in the same villages. Anopheles dirus was the predominant species in three of the study villages. Sporozoites were found only in An. drius from Phou Hom. However, in Beng Phoukham, An. dirus was positive for oocysts. The distribution of malaria cases was highest in Phou Hom and this correlated well with the vectorial capacity of An. dirus. The risk for infection from An. dirus was also high, at 0.99. INTRODUCTION Mekong Region. Since An. dirus has been found in Sekong, which is a province in the south, we Malaria is a serious public health problem wanted to determine how far south An. dirus was in Lao PDR, which is a landlocked country.

Mr Bounpan Inthavongthong, Technical Staff, Register Statistics Division, Social Statistics Department Supported By: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) District Population Projections 2015-2035 I Forward Population projections are extremely important for effective management and administration of population growth and related demographic issues. If population projections are as accurate as possible, the government and policy makers will be informed to formulate policies and develop plans with greater precision in order to provide necessary and effective population services such as social services and social welfare. Due to this importance and necessity the Lao Statistics Bureau, under the Ministry of Planning and Investment has conducted this population projection by using the baseline data from the fourth Population and Housing Census in 2015. Population projections demonstrate a calculation of the population’s size and characteristics in the future. It is not possible to guarantee one hundred percent accurate estimations, even if the best available methodology was utilized in the estimation. Therefore, it is necessary for Lao Statistics Bureau to improve the population projections periodically in order to obtain a more accurate picture of the population in the future, which is estimated using data from several surveys such as Lao Social Indicator Survey and other surveys.
