Malaria remains a public health problem in Kenya despite several concerted control efforts. Empirical evidence regarding malaria effects in Kenya suggests that the disease imposes substantial economic costs, jeopardizing the achievement of sustainable de
Anopheles stephensi, an invasive malaria vector that is endemic to south Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, has also recently been reported in Kenya [10]. In Africa, highland zones are defined as those with an elevation higher than 1500 m above sea level. These zones are also characterized by ...
parasite, which causes the most severe form of the disease, accounts for more than 99% of the infections [3]. There are an estimated 3.5 million new malaria cases annually, with 10,700 deaths and an estimated 25 million people at risk of contracting the disease in Kenya [3]. As per th...
Here, the authors experimentally determine the effect of temperature on parasite development in the mosquito and model how it impacts malaria transmission in Kenya under current and future climate scenarios. Eunho Suh Isaac J. Stopard Matthew B. Thomas ArticleOpen Access22 Apr 2024 Nature ...
Several countries in Southeast Asia are nearing malaria elimination, yet eradication remains elusive. This is largely due to the challenge of focusing elimination efforts, an area where risk prediction can play an essential supporting role. Despite its i
The role of shops in the treatment and prevention of childhood malaria on the coast of Kenya A community survey of 388 mothers in a rural and peri-urban population surrounding a district hospital on the coast of Kenya revealed that the preferred ch... R.W.,Snow,and,... - 《Transactions...
Despite progress on malaria vaccines, the mainstay of prevention in much of Africa and Southeast Asia is the insecticide-treatedbed net, which has reduced mortality significantly in some areas. For example, in westernKenyathe use of bed nets reduced mortality among children by 25 percent. Bed ne...
while under-prediction in the Horn of Africa region likely relates to pronounced drying trends in the twentieth century33. LIS-MAL appears to underestimate the extent of malaria suitability in east Africa shown on the pre-intervention map; however, we note that these areas in Kenya and Tanzania...
The effective population size of Anopheles gambiae in Kenya: implications for population structure. We estimated current and long-term effective population size (Ne) of two Anopheles gambiae (savanna cytotype) populations in Kenya. Temporal variation at n... T Lehmann,WA Hawley,H Grebert,... -...
Bungoma, Kakamega and Baringo are located in this region, and they are also endemic zones along the Lake Victoria. The coastal region had 13.7 million representing 27% of population at risk of malaria. The seasonal malaria transmission zone is in northern and central Kenya; the number of ...
