Prevalence of Malaria among Adults in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background. Malaria is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in tropical and subtropical regions. The bulk of the global malaria burden is in sub-Saharan African countries, including Ethiopia. Malaria adversely affects the health of the peoples as well as the economic development of m...
