Observational analysis of malaria prevalence in Meta, Colombia, showing age impacts and vector exposure.
Our study looks at malaria data from 2016 to 2021 in Meta in Colombia, where most cases were found in Puerto Gaitán, Villavicencio and Mapiripán. A significant relationship was found between age category and acquiring malaria. Although not a part of the malaria endemic zone, Meta has municipalities located near rivers, where contact with the vector is enhanced. No eradication programme will succeed without the cooperation of its inhabitants.
