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) |
Mesoendemic (>10%–50% PfPR2–10) | 0 (0) | 0.0 (0) | 48 (65) | 5.8 (69) |
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.
