Malaria Control: Strategy, Economics, and Modeling

The Global Burden

• The Toll: ~249 million cases and 608,000 deaths annually (2022/23 data).
• The Target: Reducing incidence by 90% by 2030.
• The Metric: \(PfPR_{2-10}\) (Plasmodium falciparum Parasite Rate in children aged 2–10).
  • This is our “gold standard” for measuring community transmission.
