Abstract
Background: To the best knowledge of the author, there is no available literature on the status of Malaria in Tamil Nadu. Hence the preparation of this document.
Objectives: To assess the Annual Parasite Incidence (API) and number of Malaria cases in Tamil Nadu as recently as possible (from 2017-2021).
Methods: By studying the documents prepared by the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases (NCVBD) and doing a web search on Malaria in Tamil Nadu.
Results: It is seen that the Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria in Tamil Nadu had come down to the very low level of 0.05 in 2018 and that there were only 772 cases of Malaria in Tamil Nadu during 2021.
Conclusions: Tamil Nadu is very close to achieving near-elimination goals but will have to take active measures to reach it.
