Predictions also perform well and show that the level of PfRc is far above 1 in all cases. Malaria aid has a significant negative effect on PfRc in Africa, an argument in favor of sustained development assistance, but current levels of malaria aid will not be enough. Dynamic extensions and...

Individual-level geographic information about malaria cases, such as the GPS coordinates of residence or health facility, is often collected as part of surveillance in near-elimination settings, but could be more effectively utilised to infer transmission dynamics, in conjunction with additional informatio...
