population

The Global Health Observatory: Malaria burden data: cases and deaths, by the World Health Organization, provides detailed yearly data on malaria at country and region level. Including the number of estimated malaria cases and deaths globally. The data includes confirmed and presumed cases, as well as indigenous and imported cases. It also describes cases based on which Plasmodium species causes infection. The data also reports malaria incidence rates and trends by WHO region, such as Africa, Southeast Asia, etc. Data can be visualized on the website and is available for download as CSV, ZIP, PNG or PDF for further analysis.

Malaria Burden Data: Cases and Deaths

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 deaths in a population that is the number of deaths that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident death count

Incident Death 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

A data set that is about either some mortality rate or the death events themselves of some individuals of a given population of a particular biological taxon.

mortality data

Mortality

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

A population or type of organisms that is genetically different from others of the same species and possessing a set of defined characteristics.

Organism Strain

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.
