The number of cases remains dramatically lower than 12 years ago
BANGKOK, 27 April 2010 (IRIN) - The number of malaria cases recorded in Cambodia has increased significantly, say health officials, citing several reasons, including better detection and reporting.
According to the National Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control, there was a 41 percent increase in cases last year.
The country - which has become an epicentre for malaria - recorded 83,217 malaria-infected persons in 2009, from 58,887 the previous year, after a steep drop in the number of cases over the past several years.
