A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. I. Model description and sensitivity analysis
Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Korecha, Diriba; Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-23)Background: Most of the current biophysical models designed to address the large-scale distribution of malaria assume that transmission of the disease is independent of the vector involved. Another common assumption in ... -
Effect of Bednets and Indoor Residual Spraying on Spatio-Temporal Clustering of Malaria in a Village in South Ethiopia: A Longitudinal Study
Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-10-12)Background: Understanding the spatio-temporal pattern of malaria transmission where prevention and control measures are in place will help to fine-tune strategies. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of ... -
Freely distributed bed-net use among Chano Mille residents, south Ethiopia: a longitudinal study
Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Tefera, Kebede; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-18)Background: A huge discrepancy was reported between ownership versus utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs). To acquire the benefits of ITNs, households need to use and not merely own them. The objective of ... -
Model variations in predicting incidence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria using 1998-2007 morbidity and meteorological data from south Ethiopia
Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-06-16)Background: Malaria transmission is complex and is believed to be associated with local climate changes. However, simple attempts to extrapolate malaria incidence rates from averaged regional meteorological conditions have ... -
Predictors of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Incidence in Chano Mille, South Ethiopia: A Longitudinal Study
Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)We assessed potential effects of local meteorological and environmental conditions, indoor residual spraying with insecticides, insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) use at individual and community levels, and individual factors ... -
Variation in Malaria Transmission in Southern Ethiopia. The impact of prevention strategies and a need for targeted intervention
Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir (Doctoral thesis, 2013-09-03)In Ethiopia, 60 per cent of the population is at risk of malaria. The transmission of the disease is unstable, and hence, the possibility of epidemics demanded continuous vigilance and preparedness of the health system. ...
