Global consumption and international trade in deforestation-associated commodities could influence malaria risk
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-14954-1
Abstract: Deforestation can increase the transmission of malaria. Here, we build upon the existing link between malaria risk and deforestation by investigating how the global demand for commodities that increase deforestation can also increase malaria risk.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211611
Abstract: The impact of human population movement (HPM) on the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, has been described. However, there are limited data on the use of new technologies for the study of HPM… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-020-03425-z
Abstract: Background Declining malaria prevalence and pressure on external funding have increased the need for efficiency in malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Modelled Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate ( Pf PR) maps are increasingly becoming available… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-021-03950-5
Abstract: Background The urban–rural designation has been an important risk factor in infectious disease epidemiology. Many studies rely on a politically determined dichotomization of rural versus urban spaces, which fails to capture the complex mosaic of… read more here.

Individual variation in Plasmodium vivax malaria risk: Are repeatedly infected people just unlucky?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0011020
Abstract: Extensive research has examined why some people have frequent Plasmodium falciparum malaria episodes in sub-Saharan Africa while others remain free of disease most of the time. In contrast, malaria risk heterogeneity remains little studied in… read more here.

Sensitivity of vegetation to climate variability and its implications for malaria risk in Baringo, Kenya
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0199357
Abstract: The global increase in vector borne diseases has been linked to climate change. Seasonal vegetation changes are known to influence disease vector population. However, the relationship is more theoretical than quantitatively defined. There is a… read more here.
