Environmental Factors and Malaria Transmission Risk

Modelling the Risk in a Holoendemic Area of Burkina Faso

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The fifth Millennium Development target of reducing infant mortality by two thirds by the year 2015 can only be achieved if mortality due to malaria is significantly reduced. This book addresses this issue by developing a dynamic malaria transmission model at a local (district) scale using appropriate environmental factors.
