Environmental, socio‐demographic and behavioural determinants of malaria risk in the western Kenyan highlands: a case–control study

Objective  To identify risk factors for uncomplicated malaria in highland areas of East Africa at higher risk of malaria epidemics, in order to design appropriate interventions.
