RAVREDA-AMI: Amazon Network for the Surveillance of Antimalarial Drug Resistance / Amazon Malaria Initiative
In October 2001, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded PAHO a grant for a program of joint activities in the Amazon subregion. This page describes the project and provides links to project documentation.

Malaria Morbidity in the Americas: Baseline, Trends, and Targets (in Endemic Countries)
From more than 1.1 million cases reported in 2000, the Region lowered malaria morbidity to approximately 900,000 in 2006 or a decrease of 20%. These three Excel PDF table and charts illustrate the current status of malaria in the 21 endemic countries of the Americas in comparison with baseline figures in 2000 and targets for 2010 and 2015. The overall decrease in 15 countries and increase in 6 were monitored in the context of strengthened health surveillance systems.

Annual Malaria Cases and Deaths in the Americas, 1998-2006
This 46-slide PowerPoint presentation with Excel charts graphically presents the morbidity and mortality trends on malaria in the Region and in its 21 endemic countries. Based on the 2006 reports from countries, total malaria cases in the Americas have decreased by 20% between the years 2000 and 2006. During the same time period, 4 countries had a reduction of >75%, 4 with >50 to <75% decrease, and 7 others with <50% reduction. However, 6 nations in the Region continue to have increases in their annual number of malaria cases. The regional reduction in malaria mortality has decreased by nearly 70%. Eighteen member PAHO member states continue to be malaria free.
