South African Malaria Risk Maps


The maps below are based on retrospective case data . In the case of KwaZulu -Natal it covers a 12 year period and includes the use of more accurate data at smaller geographical units (approximately30- 50km²). In the case of the Mpumalanga and Northern province, it is based on 7 years of retrospective data at magisterial district level. A collaborative initiative is currently underway to establish a Geographic Information System, which will allow cases to be plotted at village level and thus allow more accurate maps to be drawn.
