Using the information value method in a geographic information system and remote sensing for malaria mapping: a case study from India.

Background: This paper explores the scope of malaria-susceptibility modelling to predict malaria occurrence in an area.

Objective: An attempt has been made in Varanasi district, India, to evaluate the status of malaria disease and to develop a model by which malaria-prone zones could be predicted using five classes of relative malaria susceptibility, i.e.
