Topography-derived wetness indices are associated with household-level malaria risk in two communities in the western Kenyan highlands

Justin M Cohen, Kacey C Ernst, Kim A Lindblade, John M Vulule, Chandy C John, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:40 (29 February 2008)

This comprehensive study of malaria risk relative to an interesting topographic wetness index is useful because it sorts out the matter of risk due to elevation from risk due to (inferred) vector production

A tool box for operational mosquito larval control: preliminary results and early lessons from the Urban Malaria Control Programme in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Ulrike Fillinger, Khadija Kannady, George William, Michael J Vanek, Stefan Dongus, Dickson Nyika, Yvonne Geissbühler, Prosper P Chaki, Nico J Govella, Evan M Mathenge, Burton H Singer, Hassan Mshinda, Steven W Lindsay, Marcel Tanner, Deo Mtasiwa, Marcia C de Castro, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2008, 7:20 (25 January 2008)

A programme which delegates responsibility for routine mosquito control and surveillance to modestly-paid community members. This pilot study addresses some of the important issues of larviciding in an urban environment.
