DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2017.08.014
Abstract: Although malaria morbidity and mortality are greatly reduced globally owing to great control efforts, the disease remains the main contributor. In Zambia, all provinces are malaria endemic. However, the transmission intensities vary mainly depending on… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Malaria remains a serious obstacle to socio-economic development in Africa. It was estimated that about 90% of the deaths occurred in Africa, where various factors such as ecosystem and climate conditions are favorable to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22896-5
Abstract: The scale-up of malaria control efforts has led to marked reductions in malaria burden over the past twenty years, but progress has slowed. Implementation of indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticide, a proven vector control… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-66968-w
Abstract: Although transmission of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases is geographically heterogeneous, in sub-Saharan Africa risk maps are rarely used to determine which communities receive vector control interventions. We compared outcomes in areas receiving different indoor… read more here.

Malaria hotspots explained from the perspective of ecological theory underlying insect foraging

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-78021-x
Abstract: Hotspots constitute the major reservoir for residual malaria transmission, with higher malaria incidence than neighbouring areas, and therefore, have the potential to form the cornerstone for successful intervention strategies. Detection of malaria hotspots is hampered… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90997-8
Abstract: The current study aims to provide a fine-scale spatiotemporal estimate of malaria incidence among Cameroonian under-5, and to determine its associated environmental factors, to set up preventive interventions that are adapted to each health district… read more here.

Abstract: Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are one of the key interventions in the global fight against malaria. Since 2014, mass distribution campaigns of LLINs aim for universal access by all citizens of Burundi. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-11949-5
Abstract: Environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, and vegetation cover play a critical role in malaria transmission. However, quantifying the relationships between environmental factors and measures of disease burden relevant for public health can be complex… read more here.
