Abstract

Our study looks at malaria data from 2016 to 2021 in Meta in Colombia, where most cases were found in Puerto Gaitán, Villavicencio and Mapiripán. A significant relationship was found between age category and acquiring malaria. Although not a part of the malaria endemic zone, Meta has municipalities located near rivers, where contact with the vector is enhanced. No eradication programme will succeed without the cooperation of its inhabitants.
