Malaria Atlas Project – Africa

Principal Investigator(s):

Bob Snow

We have produced the first ever empirical global map of P. falciparum risk using rigorous geo-statistical models of infection prevalence, remotely sensed proxies of climate and human settlement. Over 98% of the Plasmodium falciparum endemic world where transmission intensity exceeds 40% prevalence is located in Africa. Africa continues to bear the greatest global malaria disease burden. The MPHEG will continue to assemble temporally and spatially configured empirical information on malaria infection prevalence, intervention coverage and funding.
