Malaria early warning in Kenya.

Remotely Sensed Environmental Conditions and Malaria Mortality in Three Malaria Endemic Regions in Western Kenya.

BACKGROUND Malaria is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in malaria endemic countries. The malaria mosquito vectors depend on environmental conditions, such as temperature and rainfall, for reproduction and survival. To investigate the potential for weather driven early warning systems to prevent disease occurrence, the disease relationship to weather conditions need to be carefully ...

Development of Malaria Early Warning System (MEWS) using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems

Improved prediction, prevention, and control of epidemics are key technical goals of the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partnership. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) is a Pan-America and World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Collaborating Centre on early warning systems for malaria and other climate sensitive diseases. To improve epidemic control in climate-sensitive r...

The development of Malaria Early Warning Systems for Africa.

Current efforts to predict malaria epidemics focus on the role weather anomalies can play in epidemic prediction. Alongside weather monitoring and seasonal climate forecasts, epidemiological, social and environmental factors can also play a role in predicting the timing and severity of malaria epidemics. Such factors can be incorporated into a framework for malaria early warning.

نقشه سازی و مروری بر آنوفل های ناقل مالاریا در ایران

Introduction:Mapping distribution of endemic diseases with their relations to geographical factors has become important for public health experts, especially in the study of vector-born protozoan diseases with emphasis on spatial or geographical epidemiology. This study was carried out to provide distribution maps of the geographical pathology vectors of Malaria in Iran.  Methods: A systemat...
