Urban Green Spaces and Vector-Borne Disease Risk in Africa: Case of the Sibang Forested Park in Libreville (Gabon, Cen-Tral Africa)

2023-02-16

Abstract excerpt

In Africa, vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are still a major public health issue especially in cities that gather an increasing human population. Market gardening practices, for example, can favor the transmission of urban malaria, while insufficient water supply and waste management favor the circulation of arboviroses related to Aedes mosquitoes. Urban planning is a major challenge to mitigate vector risks. As a pl...
