During the last 1st dekad of May 2025, some parts of the country were suitable for malaria breeding and transmission. In the Oromia region, Jimma, Illu Aba Bora, Kellem Wellega, East Shewa, Arsi, Guji, All Guji and Borena zones, Bale, East Bale, and East Hararge zones; in southwest Ethiopia, Mirab Omo, Sheka, and Keffa; all zones of south and central Ethiopia and Sidam regions; in Benshangul Gumuz, Assosa and Metekel zones; and the Somali region, Daawa, Liben, Afder, Shebele, Nogob, Erer, Fafan, Jara, and Siti zones, and also Dire Dawa and Harar were some of the suitable zones for malaria breeding and transmission. As to the climate-health analysis result, the transmission and expansion of malaria will expand in the coming months and seasons, especially in the western, southwestern, and northern parts of the country.
Moreover, the heat-stress conditions will increase in strength and area distribution, especially over the low-lying border parts of the Northeastern, Southern, Western, Northwestern, and Northeastern parts of the country, while the highland parts of the country will remain in good condition for human and cattle activity and productivity.
