| forecasting malaria incidence based on monthly case reports and environmental factors in karuzi, burundi, 1997-2003. | the objective of this work was to develop a model to predict malaria incidence in an area of unstable transmission by studying the association between environmental variables and disease dynamics. | 2007 | 17892540 |
| spatial targeted vector control in the highlands of burundi and its impact on malaria transmission. | prevention of malaria epidemics is a priority for african countries. the 2000 malaria epidemic in burundi prompted the government to implement measures for preventing future outbreaks. case management with artemisinin-based combination therapy and malaria surveillance were nationally improved. a vector control programme was initiated in one of the most affected highland provinces. the focal distribution of malaria vectors in the highlands was the starting point for designing a targeted vector co ... | 2007 | 18053166 |
| a significant increase in kdr in anopheles gambiae is associated with an intensive vector control intervention in burundi highlands. | in burundi, the occurrence of the knock down resistance (kdr) mutation in anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) was determined for six consecutive years within the framework of a vector control programme. findings were also linked with the insecticide resistance status observed with bioassay in an. gambiae s.l. and an. funestus. | 2008 | 18983277 |
