aNyanza Province is no longer an administrative region, but demographic health and surveillance data are still aggregated at this level.

bBased on most recently available Demographic Health Survey data, therefore years vary.

cIncidence is per 1000 population. Highly malaria endemic is defined as >1 case per 1000 population.

dMalaria is endemic to eastern regions of Chittagong Division, but not Matlab.

eKenyan HIV estimates listed are at the county rather than provincial level.

fAmong at risk populations.
