Risk is stratified into unstable risk (
Pv
API < 0.1 per 1000 people p.a.) and stable risk (
Pv
API ≥ 0.1 per
1000 people p.a.). America = Central and South America; Africa+ = Africa, Yemen and Saudi Arabia;
Asia = mainland Asia excluding the Malaysian Peninsula; Asia-Pacific = southern islands of Asia-Pacific
and the Malaysian Peninsula.
