      At present, the factors underlying the microepidemiology of malaria are not fully understood, but include variation in distance to the nearest mosquito breeding site, water body or vegetation, household structural features [21, 22 ], and both human behavioural and genetic factors [22 ], that may also result in differential attractiveness to mosquitoes.
