  • Updated description of Incidence of malaria (episode per person) from

    ###Definition: * The incidence of malaria refers to the number of new cases of malaria infection that occur in a population over a specific period of time, typically expressed as episodes per person per year. It's a metric used by public health officials to track the burden of malaria in a particular area and assess the effectiveness of control measures. * __Incidence__: In epidemiology, incidence refers to the number of new individuals who acquire a specific disease or condition during a defined period in a specific population. * __Malaria__: Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects humans and other primates. Plasmodium parasites transmitted by infected Anopheles mosquitoes cause malaria. * __Episodes__: An episode refers to a single instance of a person contracting malaria. * __Person__: This refers to the individual members of the population being studied. * __Rate__: The number of episodes is then divided by the population at risk and the time period to arrive at the incidence rate, typically expressed as episodes per person per year. ###Unit of Measure: * Ratio ###Year: * 2013 ###Source: * MOH - NIHRD - RISKESDAS ###SDG Indicator: * __3.3.3__ Malaria incidence per 1,000 population ###CPAP Outcome: * Child Survival and Development ###CPAP Output: * 1.5 EPI/Malaria/HIV
