Several key metrics are essential in understanding malaria from an epidemiological perspective:
Incidence Rate: The number of new malaria cases per 1,000 population at risk per year. Mortality Rate: The number of deaths due to malaria per 100,000 population per year. Prevalence: The total number of malaria cases at a given time. Basic Reproduction Number (R0): The average number of secondary cases generated from one infected individual.
