Malaria outbreak facilitated by increased vector-breeding sites from erosion control pits sustained by intermittent rainfall, Mbale District, Uganda, January-June 2019
Increased vector breeding sites due to erosion control pits as a soil conservation practice sustained by the intermittent rainfall, likely caused this outbreak. Draining pits immediately after the rains and increasing coverage for bed nets were recommended.
