The invasion of into Africa poses a potential threat to malaria control and elimination on the continent. However, it is not clear if the recent malaria resurgence in Ethiopia has linked to the expansion of . We obtained the clinical malaria case reports and malaria intervention data from the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MoH) for the period 2001-2022. We analyzed clinical malaria hotspots and investigated the potential role of in the 2022 malaria outbreaks. Clinical malaria cases in Ethiopia decreased by 80%, from 5.2 million cases in 2004 to 1.0 million cases in 2018; however, cases increased steadily to 2.6 million confirmed cases in 2022. cases and proportion have increased significantly in the past 5 years. Clinical malaria hotspots are concentrated along the western Ethiopian border areas and have grown significantly from 2017 to 2022. Major malaria outbreaks in 2022/2023 were detected in multiple sites across Ethiopia, and was the predominant vector in some of these sites, however, it was absence from many of the outbreak sites. The causes of recent upsurge in malaria in Ethiopia may be multi-factorial and it is a subject of further investigation.
[物种名称]入侵非洲对该大陆的疟疾控制与消除构成了潜在威胁。然而，埃塞俄比亚近期疟疾的再度流行是否与[物种名称]的扩张有关尚不清楚。我们从埃塞俄比亚卫生部获取了2001年至2022年期间的临床疟疾病例报告和疟疾干预数据。我们分析了临床疟疾热点地区，并调查了[物种名称]在2022年疟疾疫情中的潜在作用。埃塞俄比亚的临床疟疾病例减少了80%，从2004年的520万例降至2018年的100万例；然而，病例数在2022年稳步增加至260万例确诊病例。[物种名称]的病例数和占比在过去5年中显著增加。临床疟疾热点地区集中在埃塞俄比亚西部边境地区，且从2017年到2022年显著增多。2022/2023年在埃塞俄比亚多个地点检测到重大疟疾疫情，[物种名称]在其中一些地点是主要病媒，然而，许多疫情地点并未发现该物种。埃塞俄比亚近期疟疾激增的原因可能是多方面的，这是进一步调查的主题。
