malaria vector is mosquitoes, which are particularly devastating in tropical areas with rainy seasons that end up with numerous stillwater deposits.
Stillwater deposits (i.e. no fish) are the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes. If you have a very wide area with poor transportation infrastructure, or if you don't have funds to fumigate for mosquitoes...you are toast.
The incidence rate should not be surprising for anyone that has lived in a tropical country with a rainy season.
You can't run and you can't hide. Mosquitos come out when you sleep, and use body heat and breathing to find their victims. You will be bit by mosquitoes. Many times. Sometimes multiple times a day. The question is whether you get enough bites that chance will deliver a malaria bite.
