Significant progress has been made in malaria control worldwide over the past decade, and as more countries enter the malaria elimination phase, attention is now focused on identifying effective strategies to reduce the incidence of malaria. Saudi Arabia experienced a malaria outbreak in 1998. In Saudi Arabia, malaria control is a major challenge, with many cases attributed to imported cases in the regions and cities of Jazan, Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, and Asir. Jazan has the highest number of malaria cases in the Kingdom.
