From: Malaria hotspots explained from the perspective of ecological theory underlying insect foraging
Living on the edge increases malaria incidence. The distribution of households and occupant density in Abulo (A) and Magge (B), in which the size of the circles indicate the number of inhabitants in each household. The scale bars indicate distance (m). Clustering of malaria mosquitoes generated from hotspot analyses in Abulo (C) and Magge (D) is shown. Cold- and hotspots are indicated with 90%, 95% and 99% confidence intervals (CI). The distribution and abundance of sporozoite-infected mosquitoes is mapped for Abulo (E) and Magge (F). The size of the circles indicates the number of sporozoite-infected mosquitoes. The clustering of malaria infected people and people with lower risk of getting the infection is revealed by the hotspot analyses for Abulo (G) and Magge (H). The coloured rings indicate the different significance levels of hot- and coldspots, with 90%, 95% and 99% CI.
