World malaria report 2020

 China and Malaysia are on track for elimination of malaria by 2020. China has reported zero

indigenous cases for 3 consecutive years (since 2017) and Malaysia has reported zero indigenous

human malaria cases since 2018. However, Malaysia is facing increasing cases of zoonotic

malaria due to P. knowlesi, which increased from 1600 cases to over 4000 between 2016 and

2018. P. knowlesi cases have slightly declined (to 3213 cases), but resulted in 12 deaths in 2018–2019.
