Clinical malaria case definition and malaria attributable fraction in the highlands of western Kenya. [PDF]
BackgroundIn African highland areas where endemicity of malaria varies greatly according to altitude and topography, parasitaemia accompanied by fever may not be sufficient to define an episode of clinical malaria in endemic areas.

Patterns of age-specific mortality in children in endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]
Understanding of the age- and season- dependence of malaria mortality is an important prerequisite for epidemiologic models of malaria immunity. However, most studies of malaria mortality have aggregated their results into broad age groups and across ...

Predicting malaria dynamics in Burundi using deep Learning Models [PDF]
Malaria continues to be a major public health problem on the African continent, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, efforts are ongoing, and significant progress has been made. In Burundi, malaria is among the main public health concerns. In the literature, there are limited prediction models for Burundi.
