Introduction
First epidemiological survey of parasitic diseases in Central African Republique have been done in 1975, and after the first visit, parasitological surveys were done once or twice per year until now. The survey in this year was executed on December of 2003 with 3 members of Tsuji, Shimoda & Nakamura, after the discussion with Dr. Yaya who is our counterpart in Bangui. There were very big political trouble in Central African Republique (RCA) from the end of October of 2002 just after back our mission of last year, and the President of this country have been changed on last March. In the beginning, we have plan to go to RCA on August of rainy season, however the civil war were still continued at that time, and Japanese Embassy in Bangui of RCA was closed on the end of October 2003. Then we had close contact with Dr. Yaya by telephone, and our mission was executed on December after the civil war were almost suppressed and became quiet. The new cabinet members of government was decided on 13 of December just one day before our arrival. There were some trouble around the Capital Bangui City, then surveys of examination and treatment have been done at the Kella・Sergent Village in Bouar Area of Savanna Zone mainly and also M'Banza in M'Baiki Area of Jungle Zone as usual. A total of 127 inhabitants at Kella・Sergent Village were examined for 3 days, and total of 60 inhabitants at M'Banza Village were examined within one day.
Before go to RCA, Tsuji visit to European Commission Office (EC) and Japanese Embassy in Brussels and World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva for the discussion of the break-down of the political situation and health condition of RCA. And Tsuji again visit to WHO for the report and discussion of our results after finished the survey.
