Notes: Country data provided only for countries in which malaria is considered to be endemic. NE = 'not endemic'. Global and country data are estimates. WHO recently updated global and regional data to reflect 2008 estimates. Therefore, the global entry above is a 2008 estimate; country entries are 2007 estimates. Malaria is endemic in French Guiana, Jamaica, Mauritius, Mayotte and the Russian Federation, but data specific to these countries are not available.

Definitions: Malaria: Malaria is a disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to humans via mosquito bites. Symptoms of infection may include fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, the disease can be life threatening.

Endemic: Having a constant measurable incidence both of cases and of natural transmission in an area over a succession of years.
