Differential Influence of Environmental Factors on Malaria Due to Vector Control Interventions in Uganda.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have explored how vector control interventions may modify associations between environmental factors and malaria.

Methods

We used weekly malaria cases reported from six public health facilities in Uganda. Environmental variables (temperature, rainfall, humidity, and vegetation) were extracted from remote sensing sources. The non-linearity of environmental variables was investigated, and negative binomial regression models were used to explore the influence of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) on associations between environmental factors and malaria incident cases for each site as well as pooled across the facilities, with or without considering the interaction between environmental variables and vector control i
