Spatiotemporal analysis of malaria incidence in Côte d'Ivoire from 2015 to 2019.

Background: The collection of malaria cases over time allows the identification of areas with the highest incidence. Our objective was to characterize the spatial distribution of malaria in Côte d'Ivoire from 2015 to 2019 at the health district level.

Methods: Data on the number of reported malaria cases confirmed by rapid diagnostic test (RDT) in the general population, the number of patients attending medical consultations and the total population by health district and year were collected from the National Malaria Control Program in Côte d'Ivoire.
