Guidelines for travellers on malaria chemoprophylaxis, the altitude limits of dominant vector species, climate suitability for malaria transmission and human population density thresholds have been used to map the crude spatial limits of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax transmission on a global scale. These maps suggest that 2.510 and 2.596 billion people were at possible risk of transmission of P. falciparum and P. vivax, respectively, in 2005. Globally, 75 per cent of humans who are exposed to P. falciparum risk live in only ten countries.
疟疾化学预防旅行者指南、主要病媒物种的海拔上限、疟疾传播的气候适宜性以及人口密度阈值已被用于在全球范围内绘制恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫传播的粗略空间界限。这些地图显示,2005年分别有25.1亿人和25.96亿人有感染恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫的风险。在全球范围内,暴露于恶性疟原虫风险中的人群有75%仅生活在10个国家。
