Topography as a modifier of breeding habitats and concurrent vulnerability to malaria risk in the western Kenya highlands

BACKGROUND: Topographic parameters such as elevation, slope, aspect, and ruggedness play an important role in malaria transmission in the highland areas. They affect biological systems, such as larval habitats presence and productivity for malaria mosquitoes. This study investigated whether the dist...
