Abstract
Background: To the best knowledge of the author, there is no available literature on the current status of Malaria in Andhra Pradesh. Hence the preparation of this document. Objectives: To find out the parameters of Malaria in Andhra Pradesh till as recently as possible. Methods: By studying the documents prepared by the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases (NCVBD) and doing a web search on Malaria in Andhra Pradesh. Results: It is seen that the Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria in Delhi State had come down to the very low level of 0.12 in 2018 and that there were only 1218 cases of Malaria in Andhra Pradesh during 2021. Conclusions: Andhra Pradeshis very close to achieving near-elimination goals but will have to take active measures to reach it.
