  abstract = {{I}n {A}frican growing cities, vector-borne diseases (such as malaria and dengue) contribute to a large burden of childhood morbidity and mortality. {D}uring the peak of transmission, environmental factors can have an influence on those fevers, apart from the individual and household characteristics. {A} household survey conducted in 2008 in {D}akar was completed by a community questionnaire on environmental threats that could be factored into multilevel analyses. {U}sing a randomized sample of 7,300 children from 3,000 households dispatched within 50 neighborhoods, a three-level modeling process is presented. {R}ates of recent fever varied substantially from one neighborhood to another, ranging between 10 and 37 %. {F}indings indicate that the onset of fever is influenced by factors from all three hierarchical levels, with neighborhood factors playing a relatively lower role than the other two. {A}mong the environmental factors, the effect of environmental sanitation is particularly interesting.},
