Title
Factors influencing malaria endemicity in Yunnan Province, PR China (analysis of spatial pattern by GIS)
Abstract
This study is an initial attempt to apply disease mapping through Geographical Information System (GIS) with multiple regression analysis to determine the nature and extent of factors influencing malaria transmission in Yunnan Province, PR China, particularly in border areas. Secondary county-based data covering the period 1990 to 1996 were collected and analyzed. The malaria situation in Yunnan Province as a whole is influenced mainly by the combined effects of the physical environment, the presence of efficient vector species, and mobile population along international borders with Myanmar, Lao PDR and Vietnam.
