  abstract = {{B}ackground {T}he collection of malaria cases over time allows the identification of areas with the highest incidence. {O}ur objective was to characterize the spatial distribution of malaria in {C}ote d'{I}voire from 2015 to 2019 at the health district level. {M}ethods {D}ata on the number of reported malaria cases confirmed by rapid diagnostic test ({RDT}) in the general population, the number of patients attending medical consultations and the total population by health district and year were collected from the {N}ational {M}alaria {C}ontrol {P}rogram in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {C}rude and adjusted incidence rates were estimated for each health district and year. {A}djusted incidence rates were used to perform global ({M}oran's index) and local indicators of spatial autocorrelation ({LISA}) analyses. {R}esults {B}etween 2015 and 2019, mean crude incidence rates increased from 155.5 parts per thousand to 229.8 parts per thousand. {W}e observed significant heterogeneity in malaria incidence rates across the study period and within a given year. {T}he overall {M}oran index showed spatial autocorrelation for every year analysed except 2017. {T}he {LISA} analysis showed that the health districts with high incidence rates were concentrated in the western zone of {C}ote d'{I}voire. {C}onclusions {T}he use of spatial analyses to identify the areas with the highest malaria incidence rates is a relevant approach to optimize control measures in targeted areas.},
