A summary of districts (N=74) and population in 2010 (N=8.4 million) in Somalia classified by malaria endemicity

Endemicity classification based on the 2010 annual mean PfPR2–10 (contemporary) predictions Endemicity classification based on the maximum mean PfPR2–10 (receptive) predictions over the period 2007–2010
Number (%) of districts Population at risk, million, (%) Number (%) of districts Population at risk, million, (%)
Population-weighted mean PfPR2–10
Hypoendemic
 <1% PfPR2–10 17 (23) 1.1 (13) 0 (0) 0 (0)
 1% to <5% PfPR2–10 43 (58) 4.6 (55) 6 (8) 1.2 (14)
 5%–10% PfPR2–10 14 (19) 2.6 (31) 20 (27) 1.4 (17)

Hyperendemic and holoendemic (>50% PfPR2–10) 0 (0) 0.0 (0) 0 (0) 0.0 (0)

District classifications of endemicity were computed from population-weighted posterior annual mean PfPR2–10 predicted to 2010 (contemporary) and the maximum annual mean PfPR2–10 (receptive) predictions over the period 2007–2010.
