Malaria disease is a major health issue in Ethiopia, affecting three-fourths of the country's land area and more than two-thirds of the population living below 2000 m altitude. Over 42 species have been identified in the country, but was the only major malaria vector, accounting for the majority of illness and mortality. However, there is a new invasive malaria vector, which is strikingly similar to the primary vector. This species transmits both and and has gained resistance to all four types of insecticides, such as . and accounted for the majority of malaria cases in the country. However, these species have evolved resistance to several antimalarial medications throughout the country, adding to the burden. Furthermore, the country has just had a long civil war, which has resulted in an alarming spike in malaria cases throughout the country. Even in a few regions, such as Amhara and Oromo, the disease is spreading rapidly and beyond the control of regional health bureaus. All of these issues constitute major impediments to the country's malaria elimination aim. This article provides a comprehensive summary of the status of new and invading species, the status of insecticide-resistant malaria vectors, the ranges of drug-resistant species, the impacts of neglected , and the impacts of civil war on Ethiopia's malaria elimination aim.
疟疾是埃塞俄比亚的一个主要健康问题，该国四分之三的土地面积以及海拔2000米以下地区三分之二以上的人口都受到影响。该国已鉴定出42种以上的物种，但[物种名称1]是唯一的主要疟疾传播媒介，导致了大多数的疾病和死亡。然而，出现了一种新的入侵性疟疾传播媒介[物种名称2]，它与主要传播媒介惊人地相似。该物种传播[疾病名称1]和[疾病名称2]，并且对所有四种类型的杀虫剂（如[杀虫剂名称]）都产生了抗性。[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]在该国导致了大多数疟疾病例。然而，这些物种在全国范围内已对几种抗疟药物产生了抗性，加重了负担。此外，该国刚刚经历了一场长期内战，导致全国疟疾病例急剧增加。即使在阿姆哈拉和奥罗莫等一些地区，这种疾病也在迅速蔓延，超出了地区卫生局的控制范围。所有这些问题都构成了该国消除疟疾目标的主要障碍。本文全面总结了新物种和入侵物种的状况、抗杀虫剂疟疾传播媒介的状况、耐药[物种名称]的范围、被忽视的[疾病名称]的影响以及内战对埃塞俄比亚消除疟疾目标的影响。
