Spatial distribution of P falciparum (A) and P vivax (B) endemicity in 2010. Prevalence rates are presented in different populations and different scales based on species. The P falciparum map (A) shows the prevalence rate in 2 to 10 year olds (PfPR) and ranges from 0% to 70%; see color scale on map. The P vivax map (B) shows the prevalence rate in 1 to 99 year olds (PvPR) and ranges from 0 to greater than 7%. Shaded areas have unstable transmission (<0.1%), and hatched areas have greater than 90% prevalence of Duffy antigen negativity. Duffy antigen is required for the invasion of P vivax into the erythrocyte and is absent in some African populations.
