Mapping the global prevalence, incidence, and mortality of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria, 2000-22: a spatial and temporal modelling studyMalaria remains a leading cause of illness and death globally, with countries in sub-Saharan Africa bearing a disproportionate burden. Global high-resolution maps of malaria prevalence, incidence, and mortality are crucial for tracking spatially heterogeneous progress against the disease and to inform strategic malaria control efforts. We present the latest such maps, the first since 2019, which cover the years 2000–22. The maps are accompanied by administrative-level summaries and include estimated COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts on malaria burden.
On this Research Impact page, we list stories helping demonstrate how we collaborate with other leaders, innovators, communities, and international stakeholders to ensure excellent research results. The better our results, the better the chances of research making a real difference.

Toddlers exposed to screen time at home are hearing fewer words and making fewer vocalisations, findings from the first longitudinal study to measure the relationship between family screen use and children’s language development have shown.
Prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is now a real possibility thanks to the rollout of an immunisation program backed by a decade’s worth of epidemiological research led by The Kids Research Institute Australia.
Early career researchers across The Kids Research Institute Australia have come together in a serendipitous project that is laying the groundwork for a more informed discussion of the impact of social media on kids and young people.
