Spatial distribution of key malaria indices across Conakry, Guinea, as assessed during the rapid epidemiologic–entomologic investigation, November–December 2018. Indices are shown grouped by commune within Conakry. A) Proportion of the population reporting sleeping in a space with a mosquito net hanging. B) Malaria prevalence (%) in the sample population >5 years of age, as determined by RDT during community survey. C) Malaria prevalence (%) in the sample population <5 years of age, as determined by RDT during community survey. D) Number of adult female Anopheles mosquitoes collected per night, averaged over 2 nights of collection. E) Annualized malaria incidence, reported as cases/1,000 population, diagnosed in local healthcare facilities. RDT, rapid diagnostic test.
