Malaria causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Since 2005, malaria cases have been declining globally with many countries having eliminated malaria and several other countries heading towards malaria elimination. The World Health Organization's Global Technical Strategy for malaria targets at least 90% reduction in case incidences and mortality rates, and elimination in 35 countries by 2030. India along with other Asia-Pacific countries has pledged to eliminate malaria by 2030. Sustainable vector control and case management interventions have played a pivotal role in malaria control leading to elimination. Malaria is complex in India due to the presence of multiple parasites and vectors species, asymptomatic cases, resistance against antimalarials and insecticides, social, demographic, cultural and behavioural beliefs. Therefore, maintaining zero indigenous malaria transmission and preventing malaria through importation of cases requires well-planned multi-pronged intervention strategies. This article provides insights into the past and present malaria control and elimination efforts that may be useful for the national programme for eliminating malaria from India by 2030.

消除疟疾：利用过去和现在的经验，到2030年使印度摆脱疟疾。

疟疾在全世界范围内引起很大的发病率和死亡率。自2005年以来，全球疟疾病例呈下降趋势，许多国家消除了疟疾，而其他一些国家则在走向消除疟疾。世界卫生组织的全球疟疾技术战略目标是到2030年在35个国家中至少将病例发病率和死亡率降低90％，并消除疟疾。印度和其他亚太国家已承诺到2030年消除疟疾。病例管理干预措施在控制疟疾，消除疟疾中发挥了关键作用。由于存在多种寄生虫和病媒物种，无症状病例，对抗疟疾和杀虫剂的抵抗力，社会，人口，文化和行为信仰，疟疾在印度很复杂。因此，要保持零的本地疟疾传播并通过输入病例来预防疟疾，需要精心计划的多管齐下的干预策略。本文提供了对过去和现在的疟疾控制和消除工作的见识，这可能有助于到2030年从印度消除疟疾的国家计划。
