  abstract = {{I}n areas where malaria epidemiology is spatially and temporally heterogeneous, human-mediated parasite importation can result in non-locally acquired clinical cases and outbreaks in low-transmission areas. {U}sing mobility estimates derived from the mobile phone data and spatial malaria prevalence data, we identify travel routes relevant to malaria transmission in {M}adagascar. {W}e find that the primary hubs of parasite importation are in a spatially connected area of the central highlands. {S}urprisingly, sources of these imported infections are not spatially clustered. {W}e then related these source locations directly to clinical cases in the low-transmission area of the capital. {W}e find that in the capital, a major sink, the primary sources of infection are along the more populated coastal areas, although these sources are seasonally variable. {O}ur results have implications for targeting interventions at source locations to achieve local or national malaria control goals.},
