摘要：

We have carried our a limited survey in vivo of the efficacy of chloroquine (n=39) and pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine (n=29) as treatments for falciparum malaria In Kaling, Turkana District, northern Kenya. Both treatments were effective, achieving clinical cure (>75% reduction in parasitaemia on day 2 with clinical improvement, and negative blood slide on day 7) in both children and adults. A limited entomological survey suggested char the main malaria vector in this area was Anopheles arabiensis.
