Social and environmental malaria risk factors in urban areas of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Meili Baragatti, Florence Fournet, Marie-Claire Henry, Serge Assi, Herman Ouedraogo, Christophe Rogier, Gérard Salem Malaria Journal 2009, 8:13 (13 January 2009) Urban malaria in African cities is starting to emerge as a entity with its own specific features. It is generally considered that suitable vector breeding sites are scarce in highly populated areas, but despite low endemicity, a high proportion of fevers are presumptively treated as malaria in urban areas and the anti-malarial drug consumption is higher than in rural areas

Malaria treatment-seeking behaviour and recovery from malaria in a highland area of Kenya Peter O Sumba, S Lindsey Wong, Hemal K Kanzaria, Kelsey A Johnson, Chandy C John Malaria Journal 2008, 7:245 (26 November 2008) A descriptive study of malaria treatment-seeking in a highland community. A significant proportion of the population chooses local shops for initial malaria treatment and receives inappropriate medication, resulting in delay of effective treatment. Shopkeeper education has the potential to be a component of prevention or containment strategies for malaria epidemics in highland areas.
