Malaria is an entirely
preventable and treatable mosquito-borne illness. In 2013, 97 countries had
on-going malaria transmission.
An estimated 3.4 billion people
are at risk on malaria, of which 1.2 billion are at high risk. In high-risk
areas, more than one malaria case occurs per every 1000 population.
The World Malaria Report 2013 summarizes information
received from malaria-endemic countries and other sources, and updates the
analyses presented in the 2012 report.
It highlights the progress made towards global malaria
targets set for 2015, and describes current challenges for global malaria
control and elimination.
The report was launched at the National Press Club in
Washington, DC on 11 December 2013.
