- Expanded malaria control in Kenya since the early 2000s has led to fewer hospital admissions and a significant decrease in malaria infection rates among pregnant women and their children.
- Blood samples from pregnant women and their children in Kwale District showed a drop in Plasmodium falciparum prevalence from 40% to 1% between 2000 and 2010, linked to increased use of bed nets and malaria prevention treatments.
- The risk of Plasmodium falciparum infection in children under three years also decreased sharply, from nearly 100% in 1996-1999 to 15% in 2006-2010, indicating a major reduction in malaria transmission in the region.
