A Study of Malaria in India
Abstract
The Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of malaria for India during 2018 was 0.32 which came down to 0.14 during 2020. If interventions like the treatment of asymptomatic carriers take place, it is expected that the API will come down further, not only in the states and union territories, but at the national level as well.
