The effects of climatic and non-climatic factors on malaria mortality at different spatial scales in western Kenya, 2008–2019
Despite the relatively small size of the HDSS, there was spatial variation in malaria mortality that peaked every May-June. The rapid decline in malaria mortality was associated with bed nets, and finer spatial scale analysis identified additional important variables. Time and spatially targeted control interventions may be helpful, and fine spatial scales should be considered when data are available.
