Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria transmission in the state of Pará, Brazil
The seasonality of the disease was observed to be maintained at levels similar to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic period. The reduction in the number of malaria cases during the critical period can be attributed to the control actions of the disease control programme in the state of Pará, while the increase was associated with the resumption of social interaction habits and greater internal mobility, facilitated by COVID-19 vaccination.
