"The main objective of this project
[the Malaria Atlas Project, or MAP] is to
develop a detailed model of the spatial limits of Plasmodium
falciparum and P. vivax malaria at a global scale and its
endemicity within this range." The site includes large amounts of data
about malaria that can be mapped, as well as pre-made maps by country
that describe malaria risk (example below, showing Cambodia, click for
larger image.) According to the site, "The optimal way to view the exact location of the
surveys is with the global .kmz
files and Google Earth." This information was provided by the MAP,
funded principally by the Wellcome Trust, U.K
