Table 1.

Estimated population at risk of infection (PAR) by each arbovirus and by overlapping arboviruses in Africa, 2015. Population estimates were calculated using the methods and data sources as defined and cited in Figure 1a,b, respectively.

Infection Estimated Population at Risk Percentage of African Population
Chikungunya 271 million 23%
Dengue 750 million 63%
Yellow fever * 21 million 2%
Zika 406 million 34%
At least one of the above 831 million 70%

* The value for yellow fever has been adjusted to account for reductions in the population at risk following vaccination programmes.
