| その他の書誌記述: | The purpose of this study was to describe the space-time pattern of the disease, and relate it to environmental factors. Spatial technologies were used to collect, store, analyze and display information regarding locations and household locations. Non-spatial attributes were analyzed using parametric and non parametric tests. The information was obtained from databases of clinical cases form the Governing Area of the Health Ministry in Matina. Centrographic parameters were calculated for localities within Matina and for households within the pilot location. Parasitic Incidence (IPA) was associated with a proposed environmental classification for Matina. At the household level, risk factors were determined. The temporal pattern of the disease in Matina is described. A similar temporal trend is shown for households within the pilot location. This is the first time that the information collected in the Matina Governing Area is used to describe the spatial patterns of malaria. This pattern will be useful as a comparative baseline for future studies. |
