From: The potential of gene drives in malaria vector species to control malaria in African environments
a The sixteen areas are coloured according to the estimated prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in humans residing in the area in 201935 (see Methods). Each area is labelled according to the countries within the area, and numbers in brackets show the estimated number of settlements in the area. Grid lines divide the region into areas of 1° in latitude by 1° in longitude. b An example of the landscape model for The Gambia/Senegal area showing the estimated settlement locations (black dots), localities (polygons) and the estimated number of mosquitoes associated with each settlement. Data show the estimated annual maximum number of mosquitoes in the year 2018.
