Historical map of Palestine showing spleen enlargement rates in 1920, a proxy used at the time for malaria endemicity. The legend distinguishes 0–10%, 10–20%, 20–50% and 50–100% spleen-rate areas. These percentages are not the proportion of land privately owned or the proportion of land uninhabited.
