From: The spatial and temporal patterns of falciparum and vivax malaria in Perú: 1994–2006
The weekly number of cases due to Plasmodium falciparum (solid line) and P. vivax (dotted line) in Perú stratified by geographic region (jungle, mountain range, coast) during the period 1994–2006 (notification of P. vivax did not start until 1999). A decline in the number of malaria cases due to P. falciparum in the mountain and coastal areas can be observed in the last few years while P. vivax has only been declining in coastal regions in the last few years.
