The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria report the highest number of malaria cases, indicating their significant burden. In 2023, most countries experienced increased cases, with Uganda and Burundi showing over 10% increases. Significant declines were seen in India, Comoros, and Bolivia. Encouraging improvement in Cape Verde, which saw a dramatic rise, albeit from a low base. The CAGR over five years indicates consistent growth in high-burden countries.
Future trends to watch include the impact of interventions in high-burden regions like the DRC and Nigeria, and the causes behind varying responses in countries with declining cases such as India and Brazil. Monitoring emerging resistance patterns and the influence of climate change on transmission dynamics will also be critical.
