    <p>A. U5MR (deaths per 1000 live births) by survey cluster. B. Cluster U5MR by adult <i>P. falciparum</i> prevalence. Black dots represent actual U5MRs, weighted relative to the number of births in each cluster; black line represents trend line from an unadjusted linear regression model (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.0538; p<0.001) weighted for differences in numbers of births between clusters (gray area is 95% confidence interval). C. Cluster U5MR by malaria endemicity category. Boxes represent interquartile range, midline is median, individual dots are outliers. p = 0.001 for overall comparison of medians by Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance.</p

    <p>(note difference in visual scales). A. Proportion of households with children under 5 years of age by cluster who reported owning an insecticide-treated net. B. Proportion of children under 5 years of age by cluster that were reported to have slept under an insecticide-treated net the night prior to the survey. C. Proportion of pregnant women by cluster who reported sleeping under an insecticide-treated net the night prior to the survey. D. Proportion of women by cluster who reported taking any antimalarial during their most recent pregnancy within the preceding 5 years.</p

    <p>C.I.: confidence interval. Odds ratios are adjusted for other covariates. 1<sup>st</sup> quartile are clusters with the lowest proportion of the indicated variable, 4<sup>th</sup> quartile with the highest proportion of the indicated variable.

Stars indicate one off indigenous transmission events with fewer than 50 cases. The map displays evidence consensus at Admin1 (state) level for Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India, China and South Korea and Admin0 (country) level for all other countries.</p
