This report overviews the vector-based GIS activities of the Malaria Research Programme (MRP) and its collaborators, and is divided into the following three categories:
1.Vector-based GIS and malaria in South Africa.
This section highlights the spatial heterogeneity of malaria transmission
and the implications of this uneven distribution for research and control
activities.
2. Facility placement and utilisation.
This section highlights the inter-sectoral applicability of such a spatial
rural database established using existing health service (malaria control)
activities.
3. Using community-based field teams to create a village
level spatial database.
This section reports on the integration of demographic and health information
collected by community workers into a digital, spatial platform.
