Malaria Incidence (P. falciparum)

26 years, 2000–2025 · 75 countries · 3 measures

Malaria incidence is the number of new clinical cases of falciparum malaria — the deadliest of the malaria parasites — per 1,000 people each year. The figures are modelled by the Malaria Atlas Project from parasite surveys and health-system case reports, which is why every endemic country has an estimate for every year, even where few cases are ever recorded.

This site holds every year from 2000 to 2025, read from MAP’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 18 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From the Malaria Atlas Project's own Trends API (national estimates, with their uncertainty bounds). MAP serves the rate per person; the decimal point has been moved to its documented unit, cases per 1,000 people, without changing a digit.

What is the Malaria Incidence (P. falciparum)?

Malaria incidence is the number of new clinical cases of falciparum malaria — the deadliest of the malaria parasites — per 1,000 people each year.

Which years of the Malaria Incidence (P. falciparum) can I download?

All 26, from 2000 to 2025, each as a CSV file, or every year together in one CSV.

Does MAP rank countries on it?

No, and this site does not order it either. The files hold values only.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes, under CC BY 3.0, with credit to MAP. The licence text is linked on this page.
