Epidemiology of malaria in India and the persistent barriers to Its control: A review
Authors

Abstract
Malaria continues to pose a formidable challenge to public health in
India despite sustained efforts to control and eliminate it. Although there has
been a notable decline in the reported number of cases and deaths over the last
two decades, the disease remains endemic in several parts of the country. This
review presents a comprehensive account of the current epidemiological trends
of malaria in India, examining the species distribution, transmission patterns,
regional diversity, and seasonal variations. Furthermore, the review explores
the persistent obstacles impeding malaria control, such as insecticide and drug
resistance, climate-driven transmission dynamics, inadequate health
infrastructure, and socio-economic disparities. In light of these challenges,
it is evident that while policy frameworks and strategic action plans have been
established, their full implementation remains fragmented. The article
underscores the need for integrated interventions combining conventional public
health strategies with modern technological innovations, alongside stronger
political commitment and community engagement to accelerate progress toward
malaria elimination.
