This document provides an analysis of the prevalence and transmission factors of malaria in the Satpura region of Maharashtra, India. The study utilizes multi-criteria assessment and remote sensing techniques to create a malaria risk map that integrates various environmental factors. The key environmental parameters affecting malaria transmission include land use/cover, elevation, slope, distance to the stream, and breeding sites. The findings highlight the importance of addressing barriers such as misconceptions about malaria, low use of preventive measures, and inadequate malaria prevention practices in order to enhance the effectiveness of control interventions. The study concludes that remote sensing is a valuable tool for targeting malaria control interventions and optimizing resource allocation.
