Abstract

Background: To the best knowledge of the author, there is no available literature on the current status of Malaria in Rajasthan. Hence the preparation of this document. Objectives: To find out the parameters of Malaria in Rajasthan 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 Rajasthan. Results: It is seen that the Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria in Rajasthan had come down to the low level of 0.07 in 2018 and that there were only 649 cases of Malaria in Rajasthan during 2021 as of September 11th of that year. Conclusions: Rajasthan is very close to achieving near-elimination goals but will have to take active measures to reach it.
