Case incidence: In 2020, the globalmalariacase incidence rate was 59 cases per 1000 people at risk against a target of 35 — putting it off track by 40%.
Mortality rate: In 2020, the global mortality rate was 15.3 deaths per 100 000 people at risk against a target of 8.9 — putting it off track by 42%.

在今年的报告中,疟疾病例和死亡人数估计有两个新的值得注意的考虑因素。
In this year’s report, there are two new and noteworthy considerations in the estimation of malaria cases and deaths.

首先,应用了一个新的疟疾死因分数,影响到撒哈拉以南非洲32个国家。
First, a new cause of death fraction for malaria was applied, affecting 32 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

与以前的分析相比,新方法使2000-2020年整个期间5岁以下儿童疟疾死亡率估计值有所提高。
The new methodology resulted in higher point estimates for malaria deaths in children under 5 years of age across the entire period 2000–2020, compared with previous analyses.

例如,新方法发现,2019年全球疟疾死亡人数为55.8万人,而之前的估计为40.9万人。
For example, the new methodology found that there were 558 000 global malariadeaths in 2019, compared to the prior estimate of 409 000 deaths.

More information on the WHO-wide methodology can be found in a paperrecently published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.
Second, the estimates for both cases and deaths reflect the impact of disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an increase in malaria burden in 2020 compared with 2019 in most moderate and high transmission countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
