| epidemiology of malaria in kenya. | more than four million cases of malaria are reported annually in kenya. a 5.1% mortality rate has been reported among patients admitted with severe malaria. although plasmodium falciparum is the species most frequently associated with severe malaria and accounts for 80-90% of cases in kenya, p. malariae, p. ovale, and p. vivax also exist in the country. vector species in kenya are members of the anopheles gambiae complex and a. funestus. transmission patterns of the disease in kenya are infl ... | 1994 | 12287810 |
| entomological assessment of the potential for malaria transmission in kibera slum of nairobi, kenya. | malaria in urban and highland areas is emerging as a significant public health threat in kenya which has seen a dramatic increase in malaria transmission in low risk highland areas. the objectives of the study were to find and incriminate potential vectors of malaria in kibera, nairobi. | 2009 | 19959853 |
| Sensitivity of Anopheles gambiae population dynamics to meteo-hydrological variability: a mechanistic approach. | Mechanistic models play an important role in many biological disciplines, and they can effectively contribute to evaluate the spatial-temporal evolution of mosquito populations, in the light of the increasing knowledge of the crucial driving role on vector dynamics played by meteo-climatic features as well as other physical-biological characteristics of the landscape. | 2011 | 21985188 |
