This study in low transmission areas of Loreto, Peru, examines the relationship between malaria exposure and proximity to health facilities. Findings show significant seropositivity rates for P. falciparum and P. vivax, with higher exposure in villages farther from healthcare centers, and identified spatial hotspots.

The study explores the impact of human population movement (HPM) on malaria risk in the Peruvian Amazon using travel surveys, GPS trackers, and Bayesian models. It reveals that riverine community connectivity due to work, trade, and family sustains high malaria transmission, offering evidence to adapt control programs.
