In malaria-endemic regions, and coexist and may interact. For instance, fevers induced by might activate dormant parasites and concurrent radical cure of both species has been proposed to prevent relapses. Heterogeneous mosquito exposure may contribute to the dependence of both parasites.

- - Over the past few decades, malaria cases in Cambodia have decreased significantly, leading to fragmented transmission in remote areas, prompting a study to examine the burden of Plasmodium infections near the forest regions in Mondulkiri.
- - The study involved 950 participants from 2018 to 2020, where blood samples were tested for Plasmodium infections and a risk analysis was conducted. It found that living in the forest greatly increased the risk of infection, particularly in adult males.
- - Results indicated that baseline serological status (whether participants tested positive or negative) was a strong predictor of future infections, stressing the need for targeted serological testing to effectively address malaria risks, especially in demographics living outside forest areas.
We present an approach to extend the endemic-epidemic (EE) modelling framework for the analysis of infectious disease data. In its spatiotemporal formulation, spatial dependencies have originally been captured by static neighbourhood matrices. These weight matrices are adjusted over time to reflect changes in spatial connectivity between geographical units.
