Abstract
After a sustained trend toward reduction of malaria from 2005 to 2014, in recent years the Region of the Americas experienced an increase in the total number of cases due to the increase in cases, since 2015, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela along with increased transmission in endemic areas of countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Nicaragua, and Panama, as well as outbreaks in countries that are moving towards elimination (Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador). Despite this, Paraguay and Argentina were certified by the Pan American Health Organization/ World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) as malaria-free countries in July 2018 and May 2019, respectively, and El Salvador and Belize have maintained zero indigenous cases since 2017 and 2019, respectively.
 
Después de una tendencia sostenida hacia la reducción de la malaria desde 2005 a 2014, en los últimos años la Región de las Américas experimentó un incremento en el número total de casos debido al aumento de los casos, desde 2015, en la República Bolivariana de Venezuela y al incremento de la transmisión en áreas endémicas de países como Brasil, Colombia, Guyana, Nicaragua y Panamá y brotes en países que están avanzando hacia la eliminación (Costa Rica, República Dominicana y Ecuador). Por otra parte, Paraguay y Argentina recibieron la certificación como países libres de malaria en julio del 2018 y mayo del 2019, respectivamente. También, se destaca el logro de El Salvador y Belice, quienes han mantenido cero casos autóctonos desde el 2017 y el 2019 respectivamente.
