Malaria is a leading cause of death among children under 5 in developing countries, accounting for more than 10% of child mortality. According to the World Health Organization, there were an estimated 405,000 malaria deaths in 2018, with the majority occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. While polio and tetanus are also serious diseases that can cause death, they have been more effectively controlled through vaccination programs. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness that primarily affects older children and adults and is less of a threat to young children.
