Mapping Malaria Areas in Africa Detailed mapping of malaria risk and endemicity has never been done in Africa. Remote Sensing provides a technology for major improvements in epidemiological mapping over technologies available just ten years ago. The malaria maps are theoretical models based on available long-term climate data, rather than actual malaria data.
