The role of age, ethnicity and environmental factors in modulating malaria risk in Rajasthali, Bangladesh.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Public health pesticides has been the mainstay control of vectors of malaria and other diseases, and public health pests, but there is increasing concern over how these pesticides are being managed. Poor pesticide management could lead to risks to human health and the environment, or diminish the effectivene...
