Housing and household characteristics associated with malaria vectors abundance and clinical malaria incidence in a semi-urban and a rural area of Burkina Faso
The household environment, such as vegetation around houses, appears to increase the risk of malaria transmission, while building materials have a smaller effect, in semi urban and rural areas of Burkina Faso. In addition to prophylaxis and medication, malaria control strategies must strengthen environmental management to keep vector populations away from human dwellings.
