Distribution of the Duffy negative phenotype in Asia, Asia-Pacific, the
Americas and Africa+.
The prevalence of the Duffy-negative phenotype, Fy(a−b−), is
shown in Asia (A), Asia-Pacific (B), the Americas (C) and Africa+ (D). The Duffy prevalence
model is full described elsewhere (
Howes et al., 2011
). Only the

MECs in each region
are shown in colour. For a colour version of this figure, the reader is referred to the online

resources.
A search of the current literature has identified 71 species/species com-
plexes with the potential ability to transmit
P. vivax
(
Table 1.2
), which
includes all 41 species classified by Sinka et al. (2010a, 2010b, 2011) as DVS,
34 of which are shown in
Fig. 1.9
(a number of species were not included in
the global multi-species maps as they were of lesser importance when clas-
sified by region and were completely overlaid by higher impacting vectors).
