The influence of malaria control interventions and climate variability on changes in the geographical distribution of parasite prevalence in Kenya between 2015 and 2020
Increased nightlights and ITN use could have led to the reduction in parasitaemia risk. However, the reduction is heterogeneous and there was increased risk in northern Kenya. Taken together, these results suggest that constant surveillance and re-evaluation of parasite and vector control measures in areas with increased transmission is necessary. The methods used in this analysis can be employed in other settings.
