The Malaria Atlas Project published the first global risk map for malaria for 40 years earlier this month. It is possible to download the maps as either KMZs, flat image files or PDFs. there are also some 3D representations as PDFs and some animations.
There was a small piece in The Times on the manager of the project Dr Simon Hay to mark the release of these maps which you can view here.
The Malaria Atlas Project is a Wellcome Trust funded joint project between the Malaria Public Health & Epidemiology Group, Centre for Geographic Medicine, Kenya and the Spatial Ecology & Epidemiology Group, University of Oxford, UK with collaborating nodes in America and Asia Pacific region.
