Fig. 1: Geographic location of wild chimpanzee sampling sites.
From: The ecology and epidemiology of malaria parasitism in wild chimpanzee reservoirs
Study sites are shown in relation to the geographic range of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). A total of N = 3314 chimpanzee fecal samples were analyzed in this study. N = 878 fecal samples were collected longitudinally from 54 members of the Kanyawara chimpanzee community in Kibale National Park, Uganda (yellow star). N = 2436 additional fecal samples were collected from 55 sampling sites across equatorial Africa (yellow circles). The coloration of the map corresponds to spatial variation in the percentage of forest cover (derived from ref. 62).
