Fig. 5.

Prevalence of primate malarias by region. Dark red shading indicates the intersection of countries where simian malaria has been recorded and the range of natural primate hosts, whereas light red areas include primates ranges that can be infected with malaria in other parts of their range but have not been found infected (or sampled) in the location (species ranges, [47]). Gray shading indicates ranges of primates that have been sampled for malaria but have never been found infected in any part of their range. All known surveys of simian malaria were pooled into countries for the Americas (A), Africa (B), and Asia (C). Non-white portions of pie charts represent proportion infected and reflect sampling method — microscopy (dark gray) or PCR-based methods in blood (black) or fecal (light gray) samples. Size of pie charts is scaled by the square root of the total sample size from the county. The range of Anopheles Leucosphyrus group of vectors is shown in Asia (C).
