Why is it important?
The study has paramount importance to identify the risk area, and variations in level of severity. These willhelp the government and humanitarian organizations to prioritize the interventions based on identified spatial variations in malaria severity.
Perspectives
The spatial tools and techniques are powerful applications for epediomological studies, and management practices.
