Study sites Entomological monitoring was conducted in 12 villages in Migori (−1.0667S; 34.4667E) and Homa Bay (−0.5396S; 34.4565E) counties from July 2016 to February 2018. Six IRS intervention sub-counties were in Migori County, and six control sub-counties were in neighbouring Homa Bay County (n = 4) and unsprayed areas of Migori County (n = 2) (Fig. 1). The residents in […] More
