Items corresponding to entire populations or subpopulations. Might be geographically or temporally temporally limited.

population

The data includes the weighted average yearly incident cases of malaria per 1000 population at risk across the world (number of new cases of malaria in a year). The data comes from the World Health Organization and the World malaria report and Global Health Observatory Data Repository/World Health Statistics. The webpage also contains an interactive plot and a table to view the data.

Incidence of malaria (per 1,000 population at risk)

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.

host organism

Host

Homo sapiens

Infection by an etiologic agent that can be passed between animals and humans.

Zoonotic Infection

Zoonotic infection

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

infectious disease

Infectious Disease

Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that commonly infects a certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans. Infection with malaria parasites may result in a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from absent or very mild symptoms to severe disease and even death. People who get malaria are typically very sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. In general, malaria is a curable disease if diagnosed and treated promptly and correctly.Treatment depends on many factors including disease severity, the species of malaria parasite causing the infection and the part of the world in which the infection was acquired.

malaria

Malaria

A count of individuals in a population who meet the criteria of some case definition during some time interval.

count of disease cases

Case Count

A count of cases in a population that is the number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident case count

Incident Case Count

A successful invasion of a host by an organism that uses the host for food and shelter.

parasitic infectious disease

Parasitic Infection

A genus of protozoa that comprise the malaria parasites of mammals. Four species infect humans (although occasional infections with primate malarias may occur). These are PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; PLASMODIUM OVALE, and PLASMODIUM VIVAX. Species causing infection in vertebrates other than man include: PLASMODIUM BERGHEI; PLASMODIUM CHABAUDI; P. vinckei, and PLASMODIUM YOELII in rodents; P. brasilianum, PLASMODIUM CYNOMOLGI; and PLASMODIUM KNOWLESI in monkeys; and PLASMODIUM GALLINACEUM in chickens.

Plasmodium

 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination

vaccine-preventable Disease

Vaccine-Preventable Disease

An infectious disease where a pathogen is carried and transmitted by another organism that acts as disease vector.

vector-borne disease

Vector-borne Infection

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.

pathogen

Pathogen

A data item that is an aggregate of other data items of the same type that have something in common. Averages and distributions can be determined for data sets.
