Considerable differences exist between various estimates of malaria’s prevalence. For example, while the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimates that malaria causes more than 14% of all deaths in Niger, PMI Measure Malaria’s estimate charges malaria as the cause of more than 50% of the country’s deaths.
