Background Malaria risk can vary markedly between households in the same village, or
between villages, but the determinants of this “micro-epidemiological” variation in malaria …

The importance of spatial clusters, or “hotspots,” in infectious disease epidemiology has
been increasingly recognized, and targeting hotspots is often seen as an important …

Background Reactive case detection could be a powerful tool in malaria elimination, as it
selectively targets transmission pockets. However, field operations have yet to demonstrate …

Background Understanding the dynamics of malaria transmission in diverse endemic
settings is key for designing and implementing locally adapted and sustainable control and …

Background Malaria transmission intensity is heterogeneous, complicating the
implementation of malaria control interventions. We provide a description of the spatial micro …

Background Malaria causes the greatest public health burden in sub-Saharan Africa where
high mortality occurs mainly in children under 5 years of age. Traditionally, malaria has been …

Background It is widely acknowledged that modifications to existing control interventions are
required if South Africa is to achieve malaria elimination. Targeting indoor residual spraying …

There is need to understand how various malaria risk factors interact at the individual,
household and community levels, as well as wider contexts, in order to guide the design and …

This study investigated whether passively collected routine health facility data can be used
for mapping spatial heterogeneities in malaria transmission at the level of local government …

The area southeast of Iran still copes with malaria as an unstable infectious disease and
includes the most autochthonous malaria reports in the country. This comprehensive study …
