Big picture

Time period Development summary
2020s A malaria vaccine is expected to reach the market by this decade. Non-invasive diagnostic for mass population screening is expected to be released. Malaria would be eradicated in a number of countries, including India, Thailand, Cambodia, Zambia, and Costa Rica.
2030s Malaria is expected to be eradicated in Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Laos
2040s and beyond Global malaria eradication could be achieved by 2050 according to some scientists. Other estimate that under even with the most optimistic scenarios, in 2050 there would still be 11 million malaria cases annually in malaria’s epicenter, Africa.
