Dec 4, 2023 · Key facts. Globally in 2022, there were an estimated 249 million malaria cases and 608 000 malaria deaths in 85 countries. The WHO African Region carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2022, the Region was home to 94% of malaria cases (233 million) and 95% (580 000) of malaria deaths.
But in the last few generations, humanity gained ground in this long-lasting battle against the disease. The map shows in which regions of the world malaria is prevalent today (in purple) and where it was prevalent in the past. Map of past prevalence of malaria 8.
These demographics have important implications for the percentage of the human population exposed to all-cause malaria risk through time. The percentage of the global population at risk has decreased from 77% at the turn of the 20th century to a low of 46% in 1994.

Malaria today is usually restricted to tropical and subtropical areas and altitudes below 1,500 m., although in the past malaria was endemic in much of North America, Europe and even parts of northern Asia, and ...
Jun 19, 2019 · Findings. We present the first global, high-resolution map of P falciparum malaria mortality and the first global prevalence and incidence maps since 2010. These results are combined with those for Plasmodium vivax (published separately) to form the malaria estimates for the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study.
