Modeling the Influence of Local Environmental Factors on Malaria Transmission in Benin and Its Implications for Cohort Study [PDF]

, 2016
Malaria remains endemic in tropical areas, especially in Africa. For the evaluation of new tools and to further ourunderstanding of host-parasite interactions, knowing the environmental risk of transmission-even at a very local scale-isessential. The aim of this study was to assess how malaria transmission is influenced and can be predicted by local ...

Determinants of Insecticide‐Treated Net Utilization for Malaria Prevention Among Under‐Five Children in The Gambia: Evidence From National Survey

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Malaria is one of the deadliest mosquito‐borne diseases. Despite the demonstrated benefits of insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs) usage in children under 5 years of age, nonuse is linked to higher mortality and morbidity rates. This study examined how child‐, maternal‐, household‐, and community‐level determinants influence ITN utilization ...

Climate change and resilience of the Senegalese health system in the face of the floods in Keur Massar

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1840-1859, November 2024.
Abstract This article is based on the observation that the affected populations perceive existing community‐based adaptation strategies to the health effects of floods differently. We explore the resilience of the local health system to climate change (CC) in Keur Massar (Senegal) using a monographic approach based on a qualitative survey of flooded ...

Spatiotemporal mapping of malaria prevalence in Madagascar using routine surveillance and health survey data [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Malaria transmission in Madagascar is highly heterogeneous, exhibiting spatial, seasonal and long-term trends. Previous efforts to map malaria risk in Madagascar used prevalence data from Malaria Indicator Surveys. These cross-sectional surveys, conducted during the high transmission season most recently in 2013 and 2016, provide nationally ...

Cross‐disciplinary mathematical modelling to benefit healthcare – could clinical pharmacology play an enabling role?

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 90, Issue 10, Page 2509-2516, October 2024.
Abstract Clinical pharmacology is often the nexus in any cross‐disciplinary team that is seeking solutions for human healthcare issues. The use and application of real‐world data and artificial intelligence to better understand our ecosystem has influenced our view at the world and how we do things.
