		Age-specific attack rates of P. falciparum in most of Loreto are consistent with hypoendemic malaria (defined as parasite or spleen rates less than 10% [Figure 5A]), although in 1997 in the highest transmission areas, mesoendemic malaria measurements were transiently documented in prevalence studies (11% to 50% parasite rates) (3).
		In 1992, 1.6% of malaria cases in Peru were due to P. falciparum; in 1997 (in Loreto), 44.8% of malaria cases were due to P. falciparum (5,6).
		A recent study in Loreto showed that in vivo resistance to pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine correlated with specific point mutations in P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase at amino acid positions 51, 108, and 164, and dihydropteroate synthase mutations at positions 437, 540, and 581 (18).

		In the short term, i.e., during the next one to two years while this information is being collected, the objective of the malaria control program in Loreto Region should be to halt the rapid increase in transmission and prevent severe and complicated malaria and malaria mortality.
		To update available information on the response of adult Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann mosquitoes to insecticides in the northern coastal region of Peru, an assessment was conducted on resistance to the organochlorine insecticide DDT (4%), the pyrethroids cyfluthrin and l- cyhalothrin (0.1%), the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion (1%), and the carbamate propoxur (0.1%).
