The observed or calculated probability of the occurrence of an event, Xâe.g., toxic exposure, infection, etc.âin a population relative to its exposure to a specific hazard or pathogen. Absolute risk is risk stated without any context whatsoever.
Malaria is a serious infection. It is common in tropical countries such as parts of Africa, Asia and South America. Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium that lives in mosquitoes.
Sub-Saharan Africa's Tropical climate is the main reason malaria is so prevalent in this region. It is also the reason that malaria eradication is so difficult here. 90% of malaria deaths are now localized to sub-Saharan Africa.(This is partially due to poverty causing unnecessary deaths because of a lack of treatment, but overall, most cases of malaria occur here as well.) Areas with sub-tropical climates also face severe Malaria, but these places have cool seasons.0% of malaria deaths are now localized to sub-Saharan Africa.
