Correlations between various measures of malaria by district-year in India. Ellipses indicate Pearson correlation coefficients, with narrower ellipses showing stronger correlations. Right-slanted and blue indicate positive correlations, left-slanted and red indicate negative. SIMS = Summary Index of Malaria Surveillance; DLHS = morbidity from the District-level Household Survey, rounds 1 (1998-99) and 2 (2002-03); MDS = fever mortality from the Million Death Study, either malaria mortality ("malaria"), malaria mortality in only districts that had at least one malaria death ("high malaria") or fever of unknown origin ("FUO")); %Pf = percent of positive slides that are falciparum-positive; ABER = annual blood examination rate; API = annual parasite index; AFI = annual falciparum index; SPR = slide positivity rate; SFR = slide falciparum rate; MR = deaths/population.
