As the coverage and use targets for ITNs move to ¿universal coverage¿, the role of community-level fostering of a ¿bed-net¿ culture will be an essential tool to reach those targets. The study design is robust and adds to the appeal of the study.

Malaria in Kakuma refugee camp, Turkana, Kenya: facilitation of Anopheles arabiensis vector populations by installed water distribution and catchment systems

Patterns of malaria infection and transmission in a refugee camp located in the arid area of northern Kenya. The clinical/parasitological survey followed a month after an epidemic. Two subsequent entomological surveys were performed in the subsequent dry and following wet seasons. The results showed moderate transmission intensity during the wet season in an area that was expected to have low transmission. The only vector is Anopheles arabiensis.
