Characterizing mobility patterns and malaria risk factors in semi-nomadic populations of Northern Kenya.

Characterizing mobility patterns and malaria risk factors in semi-nomadic populations of Northern Kenya.

While many studies have characterized mobility patterns and disease dynamics of settled populations, few have focused on more mobile populations. Highly mobile groups are often at higher disease risk due to their regular movement that may increase the variability of their environments, reduce their...
