Results:The global IP was 16.62%with PSP and 72.20%without PSP.Gametoeyte index did not differ significantly between the treated zone(27.8) and the control zone(29.1).The total geometric mean of DP was 309 in the treated zone and 600 in the control zone.Hemoglobin level is 8.7 in the control zone and 9.5 in the treated zone.We noted a predominance of anemia in the control zone compared to the treated zone.Conclusions:The PSP have contributed to a significant reduction in morbidity in the commune of Aguegues.展开更多
