| Notes: Estimates are based on a theoretical model of distribution of endemic malaria based on climate conditions (long-term mean rainfall and temperature) suitable for transmission. Where climate is marginally suitable, malaria is marginal and epidemic-prone. In some conditions marginal areas may have steady but low levels of transmission (eg eastern Africa), or strong seasonal cycles with great inter-annual variation (eg western & southern Africa) Where climate is suitable, malaria is likely endemic / stable (hypo-, meso-, hyper- or holo-endemic, seasonal or perennial). |
