Dengue and malaria mortality in Ecuador: A population analysis of hospital deaths across 24 provinces, 2015–2023
Hospital-based mortality data expose critical gaps in Ecuador's arboviral and <i>Plasmodium spp</i> surveillance. While dengue shows episodic lethality across endemic provinces, malaria's sporadic fatality signals in urban, non-endemic regions highlight the need for sustained clinical vigilance and integrated mortality monitoring.
