In addition to the effect of the different land cover types, two studies investigated the role of weather in malaria transmission. Lawpoolsri et al.[15] reported an OR of malaria infections of 1.05 (95% CI 1.02–1.09) forPlasmodium vivaxand 1.27 (95% CI 1.23–1.31) forPlasmodium falciparum...
This intense routine of travel and work can greatly influence the difficulty of keeping the treatment in progress and end up leading to its interruption and causing the relapse [36, 37]. Besides, the continuous flow of mobility may impact the search for medical care, and consequently the ...
Map of Rc estimates for Eswatini Map of (A) time-only (B) best scenario by AIC (Scenario 9) and (C) Scenario 4, representing an assumption of little long-distance transmission and few unobserved cases. Note the increasing focality in (C), with higher Rc values estimated around the nort...
Moreover, HPM patterns and the risk of malaria transmission vary substantially across spatial and temporal scales, socioeconomic sub-groups, and motivation for travel. Therefore, strategic control and elimination planning requires quantitative information on HPM patterns and the translation of these into ...

As detailed in Tatem7, sources of human mobility data potentially useful for modelling pathogen movements include: air and sea travel data records (including open access modelled versions of them); census migration data; travel history and displacement surveys; GPS tracking data and volunteered geograp...
Spatial repellents (SRs) have been widely used for the prevention of mosquito bites, and preliminary findings suggest efficacy against both malaria (1) and Aedes-borne viruses (2) but their effectiveness in reducing mosquito-borne diseases under operational use has never been evaluated. SRs have ...
travel time, hospital choice, pre-treatment triage at lower-level facilities and the age of hospital admission for malaria remains poorly defined [87]. Here we have presumed equal accessibility for all children aged less than 15 years within each transmission defined location, between sites and ...

also to map down the malaria movement globally [87]. The importation of cases into non-endemic regions is governed by many factors, including endemicity and prevailing interventions in the region of origin. In addition, number of people travelling to endemic regions and frequency of travels also...
