The impact of urbanization and population density on childhood Plasmodium falciparum parasite prevalence rates in Africa
Although malaria has been traditionally regarded as less of a problem in urban areas compared to neighbouring rural areas, the risk of malaria infection continues to exist in densely populated, urban areas of Africa. Despite the recognition that urbanization influences the epidemiology of malaria, t...
