Illustrating the relationship between key environmental variables and the malaria hazard levels.
The maps depict the following factors: examines the relationship between the proximity to the stream network and malaria hazard levels (Panel A), the correlation between elevation and malaria hazard levels (Panel B) and (Panel C) explores the relationship between slope and malaria hazard levels.

Illustration of the relationship between specific environmental variables and malaria hazard levels.
The maps depict the following factors: the correlation between aspect and malaria hazard levels (Panel A), the association between curvature and malaria hazard levels (Panel B), and the relationship between rainfall and malaria hazard levels (Panel C).
