Spanish term

para-quinquenales

Spanish to English Science Science (general) insect life cycle
I am revising a proposal for funding a malaria-fighting program in a South American country, with a reference to the type of life cycle exhibited by mosquitos in that region:

El comportamiento cíclico que se registra en X se caracteriza por la presencia de ciclos epidémicos para-quinquenales que ocurren cada 2 a 7 años.

The translation given is "para-fortnight", while I understand "quinquenales" to be "five-year", which makes no sense to me if they occur every 2 to 7 years...and then there's the issue of the "para" of "para-quinquenales".

Any ideas?

TIA

"Distribución temporal. Se ha informado una periodicidad de largo plazo con picos de malaria cada 4 años durante el período estudiado. Esta periodicidad también ha sido descrita por Gabaldón, quien llamó periodicidad paraquinquenal a la tendencia de la malaria en Suramérica y las islas del Caribe, a recurrir en períodos de aproximadamente 5 años18. Hay informes de ciclos epidémicos, entre otros, en el noroccidente de la India19, en Pakistán con una periodicidad de 8 años20 y en Sri Lanka, donde se describen epidemias severas de P. falciparum cada 7 a 10 años21."http://colombiamedica.univalle.edu.co/VOL26NO3/malaria.html

Plan Quinquenal

Existe una clara periodicidad anual de la transmisión malárica asociada con la entrada y salida de las lluvias (estacional) la cual condiciona un incremento de la densidad de los vectores. Adicionalmente a ello, Gabaldón describió por vez primera la existencia de una periodicidad interanual cada cinco años, la cual denominó paraquinquenal (Gabaldón A. 1949). Esta periodicidad no pudo ser nunca explicada por Gabaldón. No fue sino recientemente que Bouma y col. (Bouma et al, 1997a; Bouma et al 1997b) lograron asociarla con el fenómeno de El Niño, que afecta con mayor intensidad a Centro y Sur América.

We have to be careful here as it was Gabaldón who coined the term "paraquinquenal" while he was working on malaria in Venezuela...

So I am not 100% sure of the correct translation here.

So am I....it complicates things doesn't it?!

I reckon it just means "every five years", just like you said!!
