QUESTION

What is the statistics of malaria from 2008 to 2011 in limpopo im malamulele town?

ANSWER

I think your best bet to get access to specific statistics for a particular town is to contact the local district health office directly, or contact an organization that works in the area on health issues. As far as I know, there are no publicly available malaria statistics for Malamulele town on the Internet. One organization I have found which works in the region is Sakhiwo Health Solutions, a company which appears to be involved in a malaria mitigation project in Malamulele. Their website is sakhiwo.com.

QUESTION

What are the high, low and no-risk areas for malaria in South Africa?

ANSWER

Malaria has been successfully controlled in many parts of South Africa, with the result that most of the country is not at risk for malaria transmission. However, some pockets of higher risk remain in the north-eastern corner of South Africa (north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal, with the southern-most limit of transmission corresponding with the Tugela River, Limpopo (Northern) Province, and Mpumalanga Province). Malaria is also transmitted in Kruger National Park.

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.
