Figure 2

G6PDd variant proportion map: Americas (map series 1). Map includes nine surveys with a mean sample size of 71 (range: 8-196); one survey was mapped at the national level. Pie charts represent individuals previously identified as G6PDd. Sample size is reflected in the size of the pie charts, which is transformed for clarity on a square-root scale. Surveys which could only be mapped to the country-level are indicated by a white star; this applied to seven surveys globally. Spatial duplicates from independent studies were mapped with a “jitter” of 0.5-1 decimal degrees in their latitude or longitude coordinates to allow visualization of the multiple charts. Malaria-endemic countries in the region mapped are shown with a yellow background; white backgrounds indicate endemic countries outside the region in focus; grey backgrounds represent malaria-free countries. G6PDd variants that could not be diagnosed were reported as “Other”.
