As part of his research, Ned Walker travels regularly to Africa and international conferences. Here are short reflections from two trips:
I just returned from the annual conference of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, where some of our work was presented but where further there is a general excitement about the clear reductions in incidence of malaria owing to national roll out campaigns of bed nets in Africa.
On my trip to Kenya I consulted with local Kenyans about this idea, in particular to pick some communities (villages) that we could use as partnered sites for a net distribution program. Two villages -- Tiengre and Kakwema -- near Kisumu in western Kenya are interested and offer local cooperation.
