Entomological drivers of uneven malaria transmission in urban lowland areas in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire

The agricultural development of the two lowlands was monitored by monthly image acquisition with a drone (DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2) between January and December 2019. The drone flight parameters (flight height: 75 m, flight speed: 5.2 m/second, image capture every 7 s, spatial resolution: 2 cm/pixel, angle of view: 90° relative to the ground, percentage of overlap (front and side): 70%) were defined automatically and kept for each flight. The monthly images were assembled into a single georeferenced image using the OpenDroneMap platform (https://www.opendronemap.org/).
