Intra-urban disparities in the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets and spatial vulnerability to malaria in two neighborhoods of Korhogo: Soba and Natio- Ko Badara (Côte d'Ivoire)

This study analyses intra-urban disparities in the ownership, use and perception of long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets (LLINs) in the fight against malaria in two neighbourhoods with different typologies in the city of Korhogo: Soba and Natio-kobadara. Using geolocated household surveys and spatial analyses (Moran's Index and LISA), we identified areas of vulnerability where effective protection remains insufficient despite good reported coverage. The results reveal a discrepancy between ownership, habitual use and actual use, and show that underprotected households are mainly located near the low-lying areas of the neighbourhoods. These observations highlight the need for a territorialized control strategy integrating behavioural communication and geographic targeting.
