and resistance in North America and Europe The feasibility of
eliminating malaria differs among countries because of
differences in the technical challenges, measured in terms of
malaria endemicity and importation rate, and operational
capabilities, measured in terms of government stability and
effectiveness, quality and development of health systems, and
factors associated with the population at risk. The forty
circles graphically represent a relative ranking of operational
feasibility for eliminating P. falciparum malaria. Drawn from a
sample of 84 countries where malaria is endemic, the larger
circles correspond to the 20 countries with the highest rank –
meaning elimination would be most operationally feasible – and
the smaller circles to the bottom 20 countries, where
elimination would be least operationally feasible. Overall,
elimination was judged to be most feasible in the America
