transmission over the past decade: The total number of
confirmed malaria cases declined by 84% (from 12,750 in
the year 2002 to 2,092 in 2012), the number of diagnosed
P. falciparum cases by 81% (from 2,165 in 2002 to 418 in
2012), and only one malaria death was reported in 2012.
However, both the proportions of P. falciparum (Figure 2)
and imported malaria cases have been in an increasing
trend after 2001 (Figure 3A). The proportion of imported
malaria cases was less than 20% in 2002 but increased to
50% by 2012. The vector control intervention (i.e. LLINs
distribution and households protected by IRS) is given in
Figure 3B. The IRS is gradually replaced by LLINs coverage
in malaria-risk districts. Total confirmed malaria cases and
important milestones on malaria control in Nepal during
the last 50 years are summarized in Figure 4.
