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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
