Human and vector behavioral determinants of malaria transmission dynamics in Nandi highlands, western Kenya

2025-09-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Malaria transmission, characterised by spatial and temporal heterogeneity and complex vector behaviors, persists in Kenya’s highlands despite widespread use of Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). The role of human activity in exposure risk remains underexplored. Identifying vulnerable times and locations is crucial for designing and optimizing targeted control strategies that addr...
