A census-weighted, spatially-stratified household sampling strategy for urban malaria epidemiology Jose G Siri, Kim A Lindblade, Daniel H Rosen, Bernard Onyango, John M Vulule, Laurence Slutsker, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:39 (29 February 2008) This paper describes a new approach for developing sampling frames that can be used for urban environments. The model was developed to meet the needs of a KAP survey in Kisumu, Kenya. Enumeration areas were selected combined with population census data.

Methodology
Thomas P Eisele, Joseph Keating, Chris Swalm, Charles M Mbogo, Andrew K Githeko, James L Regens, John I Githure, Linda Andrews, John C Beier Malaria Journal 2003, 2:44 (10 December 2003) The level of greenness in an area (as measured from satellite data) is to a large extent related to the likelihood of providing mosquito breeding sites. GIS can contribute to our understanding of malaria transmission by improving our understanding of the relationship between humans and their environment. City planners need to be aware that most of the areas occupied by large African cities are better seen as a peri-urban than as a strictly-speaking urban environment, hence more likely to allow malaria transmission, and GIS data can help to identify areas where drainage is a problem.
