Climate and topography shape malaria transmission in lowland Busia and highland Meru counties, Kenya

2026-07-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Malaria is a global public health problem especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, it varies across ecological zones with limited evidence comparing vector ecology, climate, topography and risk of infection in western lowlands and central highlands. <h4>Objective</h4> To compare levels of malaria infection, vector densities, rainfall, temperature, relative humidity and topography in lowl...
