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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Bayesian Modeling of Geostatistical Survival Data With Misaligned Covariates: A Simulation‐Based Study of Malaria Risk in Gabon

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub‐Saharan Africa, with spatial heterogeneity in transmission posing significant challenges to effective disease control. Accurate estimation of survival risk in relation to local malaria prevalence is often hampered by spatial misalignment, a scenario in which infection covariates and ...
