Background Understanding the relationship between Plasmodium falciparum malaria
transmission and health outcomes requires accurate estimates of exposure to infectious …

Background Urbanization generally improves health outcomes of residents and is one of the
potential factors that might contribute to reducing malaria transmission. However, the …

The interactions of environmental, geographic, socio-demographic, and epidemiological
factors in shaping mosquito-borne disease transmission dynamics are complex and …

Background A high-resolution surveillance-response system has been developed within a
geographic information system (GIS) to support malaria elimination in the Pacific. This paper …

Background With more than half of Africa's population expected to live in urban settlements
by 2030, the burden of malaria among urban populations in Africa continues to rise with an …

Malaria risk is highly heterogeneous. Understanding village and household-level spatial
heterogeneity of malaria risk can support a transition to spatially targeted interventions for …

In areas of seasonal malaria transmission, the incidence rate of malaria infection is
presumed to be near zero at the end of the dry season. Asymptomatic individuals may …

Introduction Malaria prevalence has declined in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania over the
past 10 years, particularly at lower altitudes. While this decline has been related to the scale …

Urban malaria is a growing problem in Africa. Small-scale spatial studies are useful in
identifying foci of malaria transmission in urban communities. A population-based cohort …

Background Malaria incidence is largely influenced by vector abundance. Among the many
interconnected factors relating to malaria transmission, weather conditions such as rainfall …
