Research
Rohani Ahmad, Wan NWM Ali, Zurainee M Nor, Zamree Ismail, Azahari A Hadi, Mohd N Ibrahim, Lee H Lim Malaria Journal 2011, 10:361 (13 December 2011) A well-conducted study which shows an interesting way to map the malaria transmission risk area using spatial technologies, such as remote sensing, GPS and GIS. This is the way to go for improving information and knowledge on malaria vectors and for implementing more efficient and targeted vector control.
