The World Health Organization says that malaria cases and deaths remained stable last year, after a worrying rise during the first year of the Covid pandemic.
The WHO however warned of new challenges including mosquito resistance to insecticides and parasite resistance to drugs used to treat malaria.
Despite the ongoing disruption to health services caused by Covid-19, malaria deaths fell last year by 6,000, to 619,000.
The WHO says the relatively good results are due to countries strengthening their response to malaria prevention, testing, and treatment.
