Human mobility patterns and malaria importation on Bioko Island

Malaria on Bioko Island has been reduced substantially but many acquire malaria while traveling. Here, the authors use survey data, geostatistical and mathematical modeling to investigate malaria prevalence and mobility patterns and find that in some parts of the island a significant fraction of pre...

Sumario:Malaria on Bioko Island has been reduced substantially but many acquire malaria while traveling. Here, the authors use survey data, geostatistical and mathematical modeling to investigate malaria prevalence and mobility patterns and find that in some parts of the island a significant fraction of prevalence is attributable to malaria acquired while traveling.
