Malaria in Limpopo, South Africa

May 25, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

QUESTION

In which year did malaria spread in Limpopo?

ANSWER

Malaria has likely been in the southern part of Africa for many hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In recent times, control initiatives have been in place in areas of malaria transmission in South Africa since 1945, reducing the incidence of malaria in many places. Other than that, this paper, freely accessible via the Malaria Journal, reports on the incidence, number of cases and number of deaths reported as caused by malaria between 1998 and 2007: Gerritsen et al., 2008. In addition, this site, by the South African government in Limpopo, contains more information about malaria in the area: Limpopo Malaria Control Program.
