Malaria creates a significant disease burden primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. This region accounts for the majority of malaria cases and deaths worldwide. Other areas where malaria is prevalent include parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, but sub-Saharan Africa is disproportionately affected due to factors such as the presence of malaria-carrying mosquitoes, a conducive climate for their breeding, and challenges in healthcare access and resources. Efforts to reduce the burden of malaria in these regions include the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, antimalarial medications, and other public health initiatives.
