The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds the highest share of global malaria cases at 14.27%, followed by Nigeria at 11.1%. Significant contributors also include Burkina Faso (8.79%), Mozambique (8.64%), and Uganda (6.03%). Smaller shares are reported from countries like India (0.1%), Indonesia (0.098%), and Mexico (3.4e-05%), showing diverse regional impacts. Notably, the values from 2023 indicate high year-on-year variations: Uganda (+10.53%), Burundi (+8.63%), and Cape Verde (+124.08%), while some countries like Comoros (-27.72%) and Bangladesh (-59.26%) report significant reductions.
Trends over the last five years show the average annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting changes in country-specific malaria control efforts and epidemiological conditions. Future trends to watch include efforts to improve malaria control in high-burden countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria, while maintaining gains in countries reporting significant reductions. Increasing resistance to malaria treatments and changes in mosquito behavior due to climate change are critical to monitor for impacting future malaria trends.
