Breaking down malaria outbreak: A multidisciplinary approach in a border village of French Guiana
The absence of An. darlingi in expected locations, such as slash-and-burn fields, points to the complex ecology of malaria transmission and underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of environmental influences, with continuous surveillance. Cross-description of the data suggests a high risk of exposure to mosquito bites by residents before they are protected by bed nets. The inadequacy of anti-vectorial protective measures could be mitigated by education campaigns about protective tools, and by additional protective tools and a frequent distribution of bed nets.
