Malaria cases contracted locally with no evidence of importation or no direct link to an imported case.
Disaggregation:
By country and WHO region
Method of measurement
WHO compiles data on the reported indigenous malaria cases, submitted by the national malaria control programmes (NMCPs). Data were reported from the laboratory or through case classification forms. Method of calculation:
Indigenous cases were reported based on the following: total confirmed cases, where no case investigations and case classifications had been carried out; total confirmed cases minus imported cases, where data were available; and reported indigenous cases for countries that were part of the eliminating countries for 2025 (E-2025) initiative and where the number of cases classified equaled the total number of confirmed cases. P. knowlesi cases were excluded in all three approaches.
Method of estimation:
N/A
Preferred data sources:
Surveillance systems; All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations Security Council resolution 1244 (1999)
