Malaria Around the World

click to enlarge

Malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease, affects 100 countries worldwide. It is mostly present in semi-tropical and tropical poor areas of Africa, South and Central America, and Asia. Of the 100 affected countries, 35 are located in Africa. Africa is the region most affected because its hot and humid weather makes transmission possible all year round. Lack of resources makes prevention and control of the disease very difficult. 89% of the malaria deaths worldwide occur in Africa.

    Hello Claudia,

    you seem to have the most updated map of the world with the endemic regions marked in it. Would it be possible for you to tell me if it is publicly available and could be used in a presentation?

    Kind regards,

    Chandra
