Thanks Generalized Estimating Equations, we were able to identify factors influencing the distribution of Anopheles in the village. Several variables, such as the number of persons sleeping in the room, population density around the hut, construction materials, presence of mosquito nets, were found to be significant, while many spatial variables relevant to the scale of a region (vegetation index, distance to larval sites...) were not found to be significant on the village level. As a result, it became clear that it is difficult to correctly predict the anopheline density for each house even with precise spatial data created with Satellite imagery and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). This work highlights the complexity of the geographical study of anopheline density and its limits on a small space. specialized SENEGAL 052ANOPAL 126TELAPP02 2 4 29-34 2006 1686-6576 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010094491 1686-6576 [F B010094491] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010094491 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2025-07/010094491.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2025-07-07 2025-07-09 fdi:010094491 fre
