light pink areasindicate low to no risk of malaria - antimalarials usually not advised. Note, the maps delineate the borders of the African countries and the malaria risks shown are a guide only. The risk of malaria also extends to the surrounding countries on each map. Malaria In Benin Are...
The highest transmission is found in Africa South of the Sahara. In cooler regions, transmission will be less intense and more seasonal.There,P. vivaxmight be more prevalent because it is more tolerant of lower ambient temperatures. In many temperate areas, such as western Europe and the United...

as a result of increasing cross-border population movements, the risk of imported malaria cases still exists at the border areas of China, resulting in a potential threat of local transmission. The focus of this paper is to assess thePlasmodium...
It is estimated that 300 million people currently live in urban areas in Africa and two-thirds of them are at risk of malaria [3]. Ethiopia towns are also characterized by poor housing, lack of proper sanitation, poor drai- nage of surface water, weak health services and wide spread ...
Data onP. falciparumandP. vivaxmalaria at the community level in 46 countries in Africa and 21 countries in Asia from 1990 to 2017 (Figure S1; supplemental material) were obtained from the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP),https://malariaatlas.org/38,39. The survey-data collected by MAP followed...
We compared the human–vector interactions and estimated the transmission risk indices in two districts of northern Ghana with different IRS and ITN histories, by simultaneously monitoring hourly vector and human behavior indoors and outdoors. Findings from human–vector behavior studies can be used to...
GIS based multi-criteria evaluation method applied using weighted overlay analysis by considering three map layer factors (i.e. malaria hazard map layer, element at risk map layer, and vulnerability map layer), an optimum malaria risk map is produced. The malaria risk map result shows that 0.68...
In Nigeria, approximately 97% of the estimated 160 million inhabitants are at risk of Plasmodium infection [1], resulting in an estimated 51 million cases and 207,000 deaths annually—more than any other country in the world and approximately 25% of the total malaria burden within Africa [2]...
Thailand is approaching local elimination of malaria in the eastern provinces. It has successfully reduced the number of cases over the past decade, but there are persistent transmission hot spots in and around forests. This study aimed to use data from
