Modeling malaria incidence in North-Western Thailand

The transmission of malaria in Thailand is common, particularly in the North-western region of the country. The objective of this study is to identify the patterns of hospitaldiagnosed malaria incidences in districts and quarterly periods in the North-western region of Thailand in 1999-2004. Regress...
