This page provides access to a series of maps produced by the Malaria Atlas Project. Each thumbnail map below links to a high-resolution .pdf file showing one of four outputs of the recent global malaria mapping exercise detailed in Hay et al., 2009. These maps are provided below in alphabetical order for each of the 87 countries for which Plasmodium falciparum is endemic, for three global regions, and for the entire world. The global versions of these maps are also available here as a .kmz file which can be freely downloaded and viewed using Google Earth. The 2007 endemicity surfaces are available for download in GeoTiff and Ascii format on the right.
The ‘limits’ maps show the spatial limits of Plasmodium falciparum transmission and identify malaria free, unstable or stable transmission areas as well as showing the location and observed value of the parasite rate surveys that underpin this mapping exercise. The ‘mean’ maps show the predicted spatial distribution of Plasmodium falciparum malaria endemicity. The ‘uncertainty’ maps provide a continuous index of the model uncertainty associated with each predicted endemicity map, highlighting areas where sparse data have lead to lower accuracy. The ‘uncertainty class’ maps show this same index classified into regions of low, medium, and high uncertainty.
Details of the inclusion criteria for data included in the MAP database are available via links at the bottom of this page in nine languages. An example of the data that we have abstracted from a specimen paper is also provided, along with an example of the data abstracted. We have additionally provided information on how we go about geo-positioning data. This document also provides a list of those locations that we have been unable to geo-position.
