Determinant factors for malaria transmission on the coast of Oaxaca State, the main residual transmission focus in Mexico

Abstract

The main factors determining malaria transmission in the focus are related to good conditions for the breeding of mosquito vectors. The existence of short-range population movements around Pochutla, the main economically active city in the area, indicates the necessity to implement a system of epidemiological surveillance to halt the dispersion of new outbreaks.
