states/regions of Myanmar. The proportion was highest in
category 3 who were mostly at risk of malaria due to the
lack of permanent work setting with implications for the

There is a possibility of malaria transmission on a spatial
scale through movements of infected humans that exceed
the limit of mosquito dispersal. The creation of local hot
spots of malaria prevalence depends on interactions between
the malaria parasites and its human and mosquito
hosts [14, 15]. As noted by Smith and Whittaker [15],
there is a need to develop collaborative community engagement
efforts in regions of high population mobility.
