Kenya displays large spatiotemporal diversity in its climate and ecology. It follows that malaria transmission will reflect this environmental heterogeneity in both space and time. In this article, we discuss how such heterogeneity, and its epidemiological consequences, should be considered in the development of early warning systems for malaria epidemics.
肯尼亚在气候和生态方面呈现出巨大的时空多样性。因此,疟疾传播在空间和时间上都会反映出这种环境异质性。在本文中,我们讨论了在疟疾流行预警系统的开发中应如何考虑这种异质性及其流行病学后果。
