2406 people who searched SUCAM/ Cuiabá for diagnosis and malaria treatment. From these, 1151 were positive for peripheral blood film: 720 P. vivax, 421 P. falciparum and 10 mixed shape. 1255 were negative for hemathozoaries research. The interviews were done through a standard questionary where it was tried to divide people according to their sex, age, profession, birthrigh, month cernings, coming from and to places. Ready analysis show malaria cases come with more intensity from North of Mato Grosso micro region to the Cuiabana lowland (56.5%), putting all this micro region population in risk, which stopped spray DDT in the majority of the places. It's important the flux of malaria cases from Rondônia State to Cuiabá and from Cuiabá to south and southeast States from the country. We concluded that urgent resolution must be taken for the changing of malaria control campaign, planning intervetion in the social, politics and economic aspects.
