Beschreibung:

A study found a link between higher rates of Plasmodium infection in Sub-Saharan Africa and factors like low levels of education, insufficient income, inadequate housing, and farming participation. The study also discovered that as the wealth index increased, as measured by household assets, housing quality, education, and occupation, the incidence of Plasmodium infection decreased in a linear pattern.
