Translocal social resilience dimensions of migration as adaptation to environmental change.

There is growing recognition of the potential of migration to contribute to climate-change adaptation. Yet, there is limited evidence to what degree, under what conditions, for whom, and with which limitations this is effectively the case. We argue that this results from a lack of recognition and systematic incorporation of sociospatiality-the nested, networked, and intersectional nature of migration-as-adaptation.

Dynamics and factors influencing return migration to Sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review.

Background: Return migration, the process of migrants returning to their countries of origin, is a vital aspect of migration that has received growing attention in recent years. One area of focus in the study of return migration is understanding the motivations that drive migrants to return home. Conducting a regional literature review on the dynamics and factors influencing return migration can provide valuable insights into this complex and dynamic phenomenon.

Evolution of research in health geographics through the International Journal of Health Geographics (2002-2015).

Health geographics is a fast-developing research area. Subjects broached in scientific literature are most varied, ranging from vectorial diseases to access to healthcare, with a recent revival of themes such as the implication of health in the Smart City, or a predominantly individual-centered approach. Far beyond standard meta-analyses, the present study deliberately adopts the standpoint of questioning space in its foundations, through various authors of the International Journal of Health Geographics, a highly influential journal in that field.

Asymptomatic carriage of plasmodium in urban Dakar: the risk of malaria should not be underestimated.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to measure the rate of asymptomatic carriage of plasmodium in the Dakar region two years after the implementation of new strategies in clinical malaria management.

Methodology: Between October and December 2008, 2952 households selected in 50 sites of Dakar area, were visited for interviews and blood sampling. Giemsa-stained thick blood smears (TBS) were performed for microscopy in asymptomatic adult women and children aged 2 to 10 years.
