Fig. 4: Impacts of gene drive releases in different vector species groups on the prevalence of P. falciparum malaria.
From: The potential of gene drives in malaria vector species to control malaria in African environments
Markers show the average annual prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in each year following gene drive releases, in either An. arabiensis (green), An. funestus (blue), both An. gambiae and An. coluzzii (red), or in all four vector species (dark green). Markers and error bars show the means and the 95% central quantiles, respectively, from 125 simulations. Pie charts show the proportion of each of the three vector species groups in each area. Columns (a–d) divide the sixteen areas into the quartiles of the average annual prevalence in the year prior to gene drive releases, where (a–d) show the first, second, third and fourth quartiles, respectively.
