Identification of malaria transmission and epidemic hotspots in the western Kenya highlands: its application to malaria epidemic prediction
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Malaria in the western Kenya highlands is characterized by unstable and high transmission variability which results in epidemics during periods of suitable climatic conditions. The sensitivity of a site to malaria epidemics depends o...
