Lowest values=most feasible. Highest values=least feasible. Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) endemic classifications are defined in Guerra et al.^11,43 Technical feasibility is assessed by combining data for baseline transmission with data for imported malaria. Operational feasibility is assessed by combining data for governance, data for health systems, and data for populations at risk.

^*Data are limited or too few cases exist for these countries, hence the discrepancies with Feachem et al.²

^†French Guiana is an overseas region of France and not a separate country, but is listed here since it has endemic malaria transmission.
