Spatial distribution of P. vivax endemicity in 2010 in China. This map was generated by Zhi Huang, Malaria Atlas Project, University of Oxford. The colour scale reflects the age-standardized P. vivax parasite rate (PvPR), which describes the estimated proportion of the general population that are infected with P. vivax at any one time, averaged over the 12 months of 2010 within the spatial limits of stable transmission [17]. The main figure presents the distribution across all China, with labelling of the provinces from which samples are represented in this study. The plots in the right-hand boxes indicate the prefectures from which the majority of malaria cases in Anhui Province (top) and Jiangsu Province (bottom) originated.
