The intensity of transmission varies from one municipality to another and is highest in mining areas in the jungle, in agricultural settlements, in indigenous areas and in some peripheral urban areas of Cruzeiro do Sul, Manaus and Porto Velho. Malaria also occurs in the outskirts of large cities such as Boa Vista, Macapá, Marabá, Rio Branco and Santarém. In states outside the administrative region of Amazonas, the risk of malaria transmission is minimal or non-existent, but there is a residual risk of P. vivax transmission in areas of the Atlantic Forest in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. Detailed information on the epidemiological situation of malaria in Brazil is available at www.saude.gov.br.
