In malaria-endemic areas, repeated malaria infections can provide temporary immunity, which reduces new clinical cases . Conversely, where people have little or no immunity, exposure to malaria can lead to epidemics . Pregnant women and infants remain at risk of severe malaria, regardless of immunity status. Vector control and case management capacity should be rapidly scaled up in newly affected areas where risks for epidemics are high and populations are especially vulnerable. Poverty-alleviation initiatives underpin malaria control as the malaria burden is strongly tied to socioeconomic status .
