Malaria risk resulting from urban agriculture - persisting misconception or urgent need for mitigation? - GIS-supported spatial analysis in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)

Description: Urban agriculture is a common livelihood strategy for residents of cities in developing countries. In Dar es Salaam, urban agriculture comprises the production of crops, livestock and vegetables. Malaria transmission in Dar es Salaam is a significant problem and assumed to be closely linked to agricultural activities, where farmers and mosquitoes share common water resources. Although urban agriculture often provides breeding sites for malaria vectors, it is not clear if this increases actual malaria transmission in the surrounding areas.
