Distribution of P. falciparum samples analysed. Zungarococha is a small community in the Peruvian Amazon near Iquitos consisting of four separate villages of varying size: Zungarococha village (population = 805), Puerto Almendra (population = 272), Ninarumi (population = 590), and Llanchama (population = 203). Since 2003, the MIGIA cohort study has monitored P. falciparum transmission throughout the community using both active and passive sample detection (for details, see Methods section). Samples were collected from all four villages; the number genotyped from each village reflects variation in both the size of the villages and the burden of P. falciparum infection.
