World malaria report 2018
A comprehensive update on global and regional malaria data and trends.
This year's report shows that after an unprecedented period of success in global malaria control, progress has stalled. Data from 2015–2017 highlight that no significant progress in reducing global malaria cases was made in this period. There were an estimated 219 million cases and 435 000 related deaths in 2017.
The World malaria report 2018 draws on data from 87 countries and areas with ongoing malaria transmission. The information is supplemented by data from national household surveys and databases held by other organizations.
