Malaria Index Endemic

**Malaria indices,** or **endemicity indices,** are statistical indicators that are used to measure prevalence and to determine the economic and social effectiveness of malaria control. These indices can be used to characterize specific diseases associated with geographical features and the habitat of certain animal species, as well as to assess other infections or various epidemic diseases. However, despite this, they do not allow us to accurately establish the cause of the endemic disease and its prevention.

**Malaria** is a disease caused by the parasitic protozoan Plasmodium in humans. An infected person can carry the disease and transmit it to others. This infectious disease is often found in tropical and subtropical climates, and especially in regions where people live close to rivers, streams, lakes or swamps. Malaria is common in Africa, Asia, South America and the USA.
