   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND We compare direct and indirect household costs associated with malaria treatment for children

   Reproduction numbers in malaria and their implications

   Relevance:

   important for analyzing the effects of interventions against malaria. This has importance for both formal modeling of malaria and for planning malaria intervention strategies in the field [...] The malariologist Lewis Wendell Hackett famously observed that, "Like chess, (malaria) is played with a few pieces, but is capable of an infinite variety of situations". This paper discusses one such piece

   Is fever a good sign for clinical malaria in surveys of endemic communities?

   Relevance:

   ic sign of clinical malaria, many Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases in endemic areas do not present with measurable temperature elevations. In a field study in Tanzania, malaria morbidity was defined [...] reported illness associated with malaria parasite densities higher than those in healthy individuals. Without diagnosis of individual episodes, prevalences of malaria-attributable morbidity of 9.8% in [...] 5-9 years of age were estimated. No illness was considered to be due to malaria in...

   The influence of malaria control interventions and climate variability on changes in the geographical distribution of parasite prevalence in Kenya between 2015 and 2020

   Relevance:

   The burden of malaria in Kenya was showing a declining trend, but appears to have reached a plateau in recent years. This study estimated changes in the geographical distribution of malaria parasite risk [...] contribution of malaria control interventions and climatic/ environmental factors to these changes. METHODS: Bayesian geostatistical models were used to analyse the Kenyan 2015 and 2020 Malaria Indicator Survey [...] coverage of most malaria indicators related to Insecticide Treated Nets...

   Empowering rural communities for effective larval source management: a small-scale field evaluation of a community-led larviciding approach to control malaria in south-eastern Tanzania

   Relevance:

   source management, particularly larviciding, is mainly implemented in urban settings to control malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. In Tanzania, the government has recently expanded larviciding [...] characterize and target larval habitats of Anopheles funestus mosquitoes, the dominant vector of malaria transmission in south-eastern Tanzania. Methods: A mixed-methods study was used. First, intervie [...] community-based volunteers were trained to identify and characterize aquatic habitats...

    Forecasting malaria dynamics based on causal relations between control interventions, climatic factors, and disease incidence in western Kenya

    Relevance:

    drivers and investigate their effects, interaction strength, and suitability ranges on malaria incidence. Monthly malaria cases were collected at St. Elizabeth Lwak Mission Hospital. Intervention coverage [...] Short-term forecasting of malaria incidence was performed using state-space reconstruction. RESULTS: We observed causal links between climatic drivers, bed net use, and malaria incidence. LSTD lagged over [...] BACKGROUND: Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases worldwide,...
