Figure 2. Monthly maps of P. vivax.

Figure 2

Maps showing the predicted posterior mean monthly incidence of P. vivax per 1000 population for Afghanistan in 2009 using a Bayesian CAR model with environmental covariates (rainfall, TSI and EVI). Cases comprised of parasitologically confirmed and clinical cases corrected for slide positivity rates at the facility for a four-year period (2006–2009). Random unstructured effects were included at the facility level to account for regional heterogeneity. The highest burden of P. vivax (exceeding 15 cases per 1000 population) was in southeastern and the eastern regions bordering Pakistan.
