DOI: 10.1016/j.worlddev.2019.104734
Abstract: Abstract Deforestation can increase malaria risk factors such as mosquito growth rates and biting rates in some settings. But deforestation affects more than mosquitoes—it is associated with socio-economic changes that affect malaria rates in humans.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-018-2447-6
Abstract: BackgroundEver since it was discovered that zoophilic vectors can transmit malaria, zooprophylaxis has been used to prevent the disease. However, zoopotentiation has also been observed. Thus, the presence of livestock has been widely accepted as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-021-03991-w
Abstract: Background Access to healthcare is important in controlling malaria burden and, as a result, distance or travel time to health facilities is often a significant predictor in modelling malaria prevalence. Adding new health facilities may… read more here.
