Note, the maps delineate the borders of the African countries and the malaria risks shown are a guide only. The risk of malaria also extends to the surrounding countries on each map. Malaria In Benin Areas with malaria: All Drug resistance: Chloroquine Malaria species: P. falciparum >85%, P...
Malaria is transmitted year-round P. falciparumpredominates. The highest transmission is found in Africa South of the Sahara. In cooler regions, transmission will be less intense and more seasonal.There,P. vivaxmight be more prevalent because it is more tolerant of lower ambient temperatures. In ...

The risk of malaria infection in a region is typically defined in terms of prevalence (proportion of malaria cases) or entomological inoculation rate (the infective biting per time unit). Due to the labour-intensive nature of collecting such data, risk models commonly use environmental and climatic...
Discussion Kinshasa falls within the perennial transmission in the classification of the Mapping Malaria Risk in Africa (MARA) project [15]. This study created the first malaria risk map at the scale of a health area, the lowest level of the health system in DRC. Although the mean end...

A risk map, incorporating demographic, environmental, and ecological data, was used alongside the case data for complementation and validation. HFCAs were classified into four strata based on caseload over the previous two years and nine months: Stratum 1 (malaria-free), Stratum 2 (low risk, <...
Malaria is prevalent in Africa and poses a significant public health threat with substantial morbidity and mortality [1]. Despite concerted efforts to curb the disease, its persistence can be attributed to socioeconomic inequality, inadequate infrastructure, and the emergence and spread of drug-resistan...
