Table 3. Anopheles species prevalence by regions under current climate.
Geopolitical zone | Estimated Area (km2) | Mean Distribution Density per sq. km. | Prevalence (%) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
An. gambiae s.l. | An. gambiae s.s. | An. arabiensis | An. gambiae s.l. | An. gambiae s.s. | An. arabiensis | ||
South South | 68,888.90 | 1.38 | 1.29 | 1.29 | 69.10 | 64.46 | 64.65 |
South East | 23,611.11 | 1.44 | 1.42 | 1.41 | 71.94 | 71.12 | 70.75 |
South West | 61,666.67 | 1.43 | 1.57 | 1.59 | 71.29 | 78.28 | 79.70 |
North Central | 186,388.91 | 1.24 | 1.30 | 1.25 | 61.75 | 64.85 | 62.51 |
North East | 227,500.02 | 1.20 | 1.17 | 1.14 | 59.79 | 58.48 | 57.05 |
North West | 177,222.24 | 1.34 | 1.20 | 1.18 | 67.16 | 60.07 | 58.95 |
Note: distribution density = 1km-2 is equivalent to prevalence = 50% (species absence, designated with a green square); >1km-2 ≡ >50% (species presence); and 2km-2 ≡ 100% (maximum prevalence of species, designated with a red square).
