Background: Arunachal Pradesh used to have a high Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria of 4.30 during 2014.

Methods: The study design included an analysis of the annual reports of the National Centre for Vector-Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) pertaining to the years 2017 and 2018 and also a study of the National Framework for Malaria Elimination in India 2016 – 2030.

Results: It was observed that the API of Malaria in Arunachal Pradesh decreased to 0.39 in 2018.

Conclusions: If interventions like the treatment of asymptomatic carriers take place, it is expected that the API in the entire state will come down further.
