Page 53-56
Abstract
Background: The Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria for Haryana had been observed to be decreasing from 2017 to 2018 when it reached 0.11 from 0.20.
Methodology: The study design included analysis of the annual report of the Malaria Division of the National Centre for Vector-Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) for 2018 and a web search for information on Malaria in Haryana.
Results: There is one district, Nuh, which deserves special mention because it’s API was 5.07 in 2015 which came down to 0.02 in 2020.
Conclusions: Although Haryana did not reach zero Malaria cases in 2021, it did reach an API of 0.11 during 2018. Therefore, it is a good candidate for being the first state in the country close to being able to achieve near-elimination goals.
