This paper assesses the exposure to urban malaria by taking into account the individual and environmental vulnerabilities involved in this infection.Supported by census data and satellite imagery, the variables of interest are constructed and in some instances, proxies are used where data are unavailable. For example, the "root causes" of...
This thesis applies an Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) approach to study a complex phenomenon in a data scarce environment: malaria infection in Dakar. Each component of the malaria pathogenic system is necessary but not sufficient to result in an infection when acting in isolation. For malaria infection to occur, three components need...
This work examines interactions between the entomological profile of urban places and their socio-economical characterization through the implementation of a geographic information system (GIS) database.
La vulnérabilité est un état relatif. L'homme, l'espace sont vulnérables à quelque chose. Selon la nature des pressions subies et le degré d'exposition auquel il faut faire face, la vulnérabilité varie, progresse. Des connaissances empiriques aux cadres conceptuels sur cette notion, l'état de la littérature est foisonnant, riche et...
Malaria is still a sanitary curse in many sub‐Saharan countries. In central Africa, this disease is the first cause of mortality and one of the first causes of children'mortality. In Brazzaville, this sanitary issue is not solved at all. In Brazzaville, the capital of Congo, the malaria transmission is high and permanent all over the year. The...

ContexteLes derniers chiffres officiels sur la mortalité et la morbidité imputés au paludisme au Sénégal ont fait du pays un candidat potentiel pour la phase de pré-élimination du paludisme. Si nous ne cherchons pas à contester ce résultat à l'échelle du pays, de nombreuses interrogations persistent à l'échelle infra-nationale, notamment aux...
If social vulnerability characterizes and impacts life at the individual scale, social structures enables its consequences to mitigate or amplify it, acting as a catalyst. How can a geographer be useful at this stage?A first answer could be obvious: providing a geography of vulnerable population, a description of their location, underlining the...
INTRODUCTIONIf taken independently from each other, entomological variables and human socio-economic characteristics have clarified the risk of malaria infection in urban area with its uneven spatial distribution, their common explanatory share remains to investigate. Indeed, there is often a lack of simultaneous consideration of the factors...

La complexité du paludisme en milieu urbain et les obstacles qui se dressent sur les possibilités d'apprécier des données de qualité quant à l'incidence et la prévalence de la maladie compromettent le contrôle systématique de tous les cas de paludisme dans l'agglomération dakaroise.Prenant en compte cette complexité d'un milieu urbain dense,...
This paper opens new avenues for reflection on interdisciplinarity via the combinatory perspective that four "young researchers" propose on research evaluation practices, including editorial practices, call for proposals, teaching, recruitment, etc. For instance, all interdisciplinary journals impose specific requirements on their incoming...
Independent entomological variables and human socio-economic characteristics can influence the risk of malaria infection in urban areas, yet the imbalanced spatial distribution of infection remains in question. There is often a lack of simultaneous consideration of the factors responsible for the transmission of parasites. This work examines...
Considering Malaria, it's difficult to establish causal links and to organize the numerous deicisve factors of the disease into a hierarchy. Concerning malaria in urban areas is much more complex for one can find a great variety of micro-landscapes, populations, civilizations, believes and social-economical status which modulate the geography...
This case study proposes an alternative spatial sampling design when there is no enumeration of the target population. Empirical studies and spatial quantitative assessments at a local scale, in the global South or in a sensitive context often face the limitations of baseline knowledge and secondary data, resulting in the challenge of choosing...
Health geographics is a fast-developing research area. Subjects broached in scientific literature are most varied, ranging from vectorial diseases to access to healthcare, with a recent revival of themes such as the implication of health in the Smart City, or a predominantly individual-centered approach. Far beyond standard meta-analyses, the...
Studies on urban spaces require detailed information with a high quality. This has a cost that limits its availability in the less developed countries and makes researchers dependent on existing resources. Whatever the considered problem, the question of sources is essential. With the development and democratization of GIS and satellite...
Introduction The objective of this study was to measure the rate of asymptomatic carriage of plasmodium in the Dakar region two years after the implementation of new strategies in clinical malaria management. Methodology Between October and December 2008, 2952 households selected in 50 sites of Dakar area, were visited for interviews and blood...
