NCVBDC confirmed India is on track to eliminate endemic transmission of malaria, lymphatic filariasis, and visceral leishmaniasis over the next three to four years.
New Delhi: National vector-borne surveillance figures reveal an 80% decrease in malaria mortality over the past decade, placing India on a trajectory toward zero indigenous transmission by 2030.
Kala-azar has maintained sub-threshold elimination levels across all endemic blocks since 2023, while lymphatic filariasis transmission has ceased in 41% of historical hotspots.
