Insecticide resistance patterns in Uganda and the effect of indoor residual spraying with bendiocarb on kdr L1014S frequencies in Anopheles gambiae s.s.

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid insecticides has been attributed to selection pressure from long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and the use of chemicals in agriculture.

A spatial predictive model for Malaria resurgence in central Greece integrating entomological, environmental and Social data [PDF]

, 2017
Malaria constitutes an important cause of human mortality. After 2009 Greece experienced a resurgence of malaria. Here, we develop a modelbased framework that integrates entomological, geographical, social and environmental evidence in order to guide the mosquito control efforts and apply this framework to data from an entomological survey study ...

The local health impacts of natural resource booms

Health Economics, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 462-500, February 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper uses novel micro‐data on natural resources and administrative health data in Brazil to study how economic booms in minerals affect health at birth. By implementing a reduced‐form estimation of shift‐share research designs, the identification strategy relies on the exogeneity of global commodity prices to municipality‐specific health
