Climate change is expected to lead to latitudinal and altitudinal temperature increases. High‐elevation
regions such as the highlands of Africa and those that have temperate climate are …

Studies were carried out at a malaria epidemic-prone highland site in western Kenya to
determine the effects of deforestation-caused microclimate change on the duration of the …

To verify the possible impact of irrigated urban agriculture on malaria transmission in cities,
we studied entomological parameters, self-reported malaria episodes, and household-level …

Land use changes have been suggested as one of the causes for malaria epidemics in the
African highlands. This study investigated the effects of deforestation-induced changes in …

Background The impact of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) on reducing malaria incidence is
shown mainly through data collection from health facilities. Routine evaluation of long-term …

We investigated the effects of deforestation on microclimates and sporogonic development
of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in an area of the …

Background. Transmission of malaria in an area of hypoendemicity in the highlands of western
Kenya is not expected to lead to rapid acquisition of immunity to malaria. However, the …

In high-elevation areas in western Kenya, the abundance of Anopheles arabiensis is either
very low or absent. The western Kenya highlands (an area with an elevation> 1,500 m above …

We conducted standard insecticide susceptibility testing across western Kenya and found
that the Anopheles gambiae mosquito has acquired high resistance to pyrethroids and DDT, …

Background Passive surveillance of malaria in health facilities remains vital for implementation
of control and elimination programs. It is therefore essential understanding current age …
