Estimation of malaria transmission intensity in Sennar state, central Sudan.
Understanding the behaviour of malaria vectors is crucial for planning mosquito control programmes. The aim of this study was to estimate the malaria transmission intensity in 2 different ecological zones in a highly endemic malaria area of Sennar state in central Sudan over the main transmission period. Species confirmation by PCR indicated that Anopheles arabiensis was the only malaria vector...
متن کاملUse of generalized linear mixed models in the spatial analysis of small-area malaria incidence rates in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
Spatial statistical analysis of 1994-1995 small-area malaria incidence rates in the population of the northernmost districts of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, was undertaken to identify factors that might explain very strong heterogeneity in the rates. In this paper, the authors describe a method of adjusting the regression analysis results for strong spatial correlation in the rates by using gen...
متن کاملMultidimensional Poverty in Sudan and South Sudan
This paper assesses multidimensional poverty in Sudan and South Sudan. We use the National Baseline Household Surveys (NBHS) of 2009 to measure poverty incidence in education, consumption, access to public assets and possession of private assets across these two countries. We differentiate between children/teenagers aged six to fourteen years and adults aged fifteen years or older. We apply a c...
متن کاملEpidemiological and Clinical Features of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria in United Nations Personnel in Western Bahr el Ghazal State, South Sudan
Western Bahr el Ghazal State is located in northwestern South Sudan, which is a tropical area subject to Plasmodium falciparum malaria epidemics. The aim of this study is to explore the epidemiological and clinical features of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in United Nations personnel stationed in this area. From July 2006 to June 2009, epidemiological data and medical records of 678 patients wi...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
