Spatial and temporal variation of malaria incidence in children under 10 years in a pyrethroid-resistant vector area in southern Benin
This study uses innovative technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) to analyse the environmental, meteorological and geographical factors influencing malaria transmission, thereby identifying high-risk areas and associated factors. It demonstrates that these tools improve the accuracy of control strategies, while highlighting the crucial role of the environment and human behaviour, paving the way for more targeted interventions against malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
