Background The uneven distribution of malaria is apparent on a small scale, within a single study site or even cluster of houses. Transmission varies with mosquito densities related to breeding sites, [...] relatively high transmission, have been identified. Heterogeneity has implications for many areas of malaria epidemiology, not least the design of intervention strategies. Whilst the existence of heterogeneity [...] heterogeneity, and inform the design of control strategies and the...
