    Tarekegn A Abeku
    Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Trop Med Int Health 7:851-7. 2002
    ..The study shows the limitations of forecasting incidence from historical morbidity patterns alone, and indicates the need for improved epidemic early warning by incorporating external predictors such as meteorological factors...
  2. ncbi Spatial and temporal variations of malaria epidemic risk in Ethiopia: factors involved and implications
    Tarekegn Abose Abeku
    Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC, University Medical Centre, PO Box 1738, 3000 DR, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Acta Trop 87:331-40. 2003
    ..Epidemic early warning systems should take account of non-uniform effects of these factors by space and time and thus temporal dimensions need to be considered in spatial models of epidemic risks...
  3. ncbi Effects of meteorological factors on epidemic malaria in Ethiopia: a statistical modelling approach based on theoretical reasoning
    T A Abeku
    Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Parasitology 128:585-93. 2004
    ..The potential usefulness and drawbacks of the modelling approach in studying the weather-malaria relationship are discussed, including a need for mechanisms that can adequately handle temporal variations in immunity to malaria...
  4. ncbi The uncertain burden of Plasmodium falciparum epidemics in Africa
    Jonathan Cox
    Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT, UK
    Trends Parasitol 23:142-8. 2007
    ..We argue that conventional approaches that are used to assess the burden of epidemics are inadequate, and outline the future steps that are required to produce estimates that are more accurate...
