Reproductive Number under Control within the Limits of stable Plasmodium falciparum Transmission
Estimates of the Plasmodium falciparum reproductive number, annual from 2000.
This layer map provides estimates of the Plasmodium falciparum reproductive number. The maps cover all malaria-endemic countries and are produced annually from year 2000 at a 5×5 km resolution.
The reproductive number is dimensionless.
Band composition is a property of the release rather than of the dataset, and
band 1 is the data band in every release. The table above describes the current
releases; for any given version, the item_assets entry in that version's STAC
collection lists exactly the bands it contains, in order, and is authoritative.
Where the mask band is present, the masking is only applied to South America, where "sparsely populated" is defined as areas that have a modelled estimate of
0 and a population of <5 people per pixel.
Each release is published in its own <version> directory (YYYYMM), with its own STAC catalog and SLD style. The catalog states the version's exact year range.
