According to the authors, it is not relevant to study malaria throughout an entire city because averages hide significant heterogeneity. It becomes necessary to work on a local scale to better assess the transmission of vector-borne diseases in the city that far from disappearing, adapt to new conditions. This point of view is particularly important as the urban population continues to increase.
