Aim. To explore some features of cross-border malaria transmission in the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan in predelimination periods.

Materials and methods. Are used reporting documentation of the National Centre for Combating Tropical Diseases (Malaria), medical history of patients with malaria hospitalized in Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital and Medical Center of Dushanbe. In the subsequent were calculated the arithmetic mean value of all the obtained results, and also evaluation given to them.

Results. During the analyzed period in the country there is a decrease in the incidence of malaria, especially local. At the same time, is growing the percentage of imported malaria cases among the registered patients (2011 – 28,2%, 2012 – 45,5% and in 2013 – 78,6%). From the total nu 38 of imported cases during the analyzed period in Tajikistan in 30 malaria cases caused by Plasmodium vivax (78,9%) and in 8 cases – malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum (21,1%). Importation of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax, was mainly from Asia (Afghanistan – 15 cases, Pakistan – 10 cases, India – 3 cases, Iran – 1 case), and only in 1 case – from South America (Guyana). Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, was imported mainly from African countries (Guinea – 4 cases, from Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Sudan – one case each), and 1 case of Afghanistan. In all 10 cases of diseases brought into the country by mosquitoes, malaria was caused by Plasmodium vivax, that has occurred as a result of flight infected mosquitoes from the nearby Islamic State of Afghanistan. All cases of infection of citizens (7 local residents and 3 military border guards) were recorded in the border areas of Shuroabad district of Khatlon region.

Conclusion. It was established that import cases of malaria in the analyzed period were recorded in 17 cities and districts of the republic, most of which according to climatic and geographical features of conditions for reproduction and produce progeny of disease vectors (mosquitoes kind of Anopheles). Untimely identification of patients and do not implementation of the relevant anti-malaria activities will contribute to risk of exposure to the local population of imported malaria cases

antimalarial drugs. Since the beginning of the 90s in the Republic of Tajikistan epidemiological malaria situation started to deteriorate due to the mass migration of refugees on the territory of Afghan¬istan and their subsequent return to their former place of residence, the sharp weakening of the work of the General and special services, and the conductors real absence of measures to fight against carriers of infection due to economic instability in the Republic of Tajikistan. The article was to study the epidemio¬logical features of the spread of malaria in the Republic of Tajikistan and the factors affecting the malarial situation in preelimination period. The situational analysis is based on data archival materials, annual reports district, regional and Republican centers for combating tropical diseases. Analysis of the archival documents showed that in 1994 and 1995 officially registered 2411 and 6103 cases pathology, respectively, reaching values 29794 patients in 1997. In 2005 as a result of anti-malaria activities registered 2309 malaria cases, in 2008 – 318, in 2010 – 112, in 2011 – 78 and in 2012 – 33 cases. In 2013, however, the incidence of malaria has increased in 1,6 times in comparison with 2012, that is connected with rapid development of road transport infrastructure, construction of new bridges connecting the two States.
The epidemic situation of malaria in the last decade was complicated by the advent of pathogen resis¬tance to

Thus we can assume that of the anti-malaria activities only intensified in the border areas of Tajikistan with the Islamic State of Afghanistan persistent results to restrict importation of malaria mosquitoes can not give. In this connection it is necessary to undertake joint efforts for anti-malaria activities in the northern areas bordering Tajikistan the Islamic State of Afghanistan in order to create a barrier of the border zone, a depth of at least 10 – 15 km, in which mosquito measures should be implemented after termination of the rest of the country.
