MALARIA TRANSMISSION .
Uganda has the 3rd highest global burden of malaria cases (5%) and the 8th highest level of deaths (3%)
It also has the highest proportion of malaria cases in east and southern Africa 23.7%. and there’s stable perennial malaria transmission in 95% of the country
The country experiences two malaria transmission types.
- Stable, perennial malaria transmission which exists in 90-95% of the country
- Low and unstable transmission with the potential for epidemics in 5-10% of the country
Transmission peaks are aligned with the two annual rainy seasons, which take place from march to may and from September to November.
This disease is mainly transmitted by a VECTOR called a mosquito and majorly an anopheles mosquito.
