Geo-additive modelling of malaria in Burundi Hermenegilde Nkurunziza, Albrecht Gebhardt, Jürgen Pilz Malaria Journal 2011, 10:234 (11 August 2011) Models suggest a strong positive association between malaria incidence in a given month and the minimum temperature of the previous month. Non-climatic variables include socio-economic conditions, food shortage, limited access to healthcare service, precarious housing, promiscuity, poor hygienic conditions, limited access to drinking water, land use and displacement of the population.

The authors use both stationary and non-stationary Bayesian geostatistical models to map disease distribution.

Spatio-seasonal modeling of the incidence rate of malaria in Mozambique Rosa Abellana, Carlos Ascaso, John Aponte, Francisco Saute, Delino Nhalungo, Ariel Nhacolo, Pedro Alonso Malaria Journal 2008, 7:228 (31 October 2008) The paper offers important insights to the possibility of disentangling the effects of two important dimensions for malaria incidence studies: time and space. The use of spatial models to understand the relationship of the incidence of malaria, including spatial correlation nested to climatic season is interesting and appropriate.
