Topography-derived wetness indices are associated with household-level malaria risk in two communities in the western Kenyan highlands

Topography-derived wetness indices are associated with household-level malaria risk in two communities in the western Kenyan highlands

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transmission of <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>generally decreases with increasing elevation, in part because lower temperature slows the development of both parasites and mosquitoes. However, other aspects of the terrain...
