What percentage of adult deaths due to malaria in the world is or Africa? Please give a reference link to the answer! :) Also, if you know what percentage of deaths of pregnant women, either worldwide or in Africa? Please add a link reference
Please give me a statistic that is either 2007-2009
According to (World Health Organization WHO) World Malaria Report 2005:
~ Between 350 and 500 million clinical episodes of malaria occur each year.
~ At least one million deaths occur each year due to malaria.
~ Approximately 60% of cases of malaria worldwide and more than 80% of malaria deaths worldwide occur in Africa south of Sahara.
See the impact of malaria in pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa:
~ 400,000 cases of severe maternal anemia
Estimated ~ 10,000 deaths per year attributed to maternal anemia due to malaria
Malaria Report 2008 World

For the percentages, you can do the math.
Hope this helps.
