Similar tables with risk estimates by continent and by pregnancy outcome (live-birth, induced abortions, stillbirths, and miscarriages) are provided in Tables S1, S2, S3.
a
Includes countries where P. falciparum and P. vivax co-exist.
b
Stable transmission, ≥1 autochthonous P. falciparum cases per 10,000 people per annum; unstable transmission, <1 autochthonous P. falciparum cases per 10,000 people per annum [15].
