Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis of Malaria Infection Along An
Thway et al. Malar J (2018) 17:428 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2574-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis of malaria infection along an international border: Hlaingbwe Township in Myanmar and Tha‑Song‑Yang District in Thailand Aung Minn Thway1, Chawarat Rotejanaprasert1, Jetsumon Sattabongkot2, Siam Lawawirojwong3, Aung Thi4, Tin Maung Hlaing5, Thiha Myint Soe6 and Jaranit Kaewkungwal1* Abstract Background: One challenge in moving towards malaria elimination is cross-border malaria infection. The imple- mented measures to prevent and control malaria re-introduction across the demarcation line between two countries require intensive analyses and interpretation of data from both sides, particularly in border areas, to make correct and timely decisions. Reliable maps of projected malaria distribution can help to direct intervention strategies. In this study, a Bayesian spatiotemporal analytic model was proposed for analysing and generating aggregated malaria risk maps based on the exceedance probability of malaria infection in the township-district adjacent to the border between Myanmar and Thailand. Data of individual malaria cases in Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during 2016 were extracted from routine malaria surveillance databases. Bayesian zero-infated Poisson model was developed to identify spatial and temporal distributions and associations between malaria infections and risk factors. Maps of the descriptive statistics and posterior distribution of predicted malaria infections were also developed. Results: A similar seasonal pattern of malaria was observed in both Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during the rainy season. The analytic model indicated more cases of malaria among males and individuals aged 15 years.

Kayin State Economy Overview Kayin State Profile: Location: Southern Myanmar Shared borders: Mandalay Division and Shan State to the north Kayah State and Thailand to the east Bago Division and Mon State to the west Area: 30,383 sq. km Ethnicity: the area was previously known as Karen State, and is mainly inhabited by Karen ethnicities, which are also known as Sagaw Karen, Pwo Karen, Bwe Karen, Paku Karen, and other ethnicities, such as Mon, Shan, Burmese, and Pa-O. Population: 1,504,079 (Myanmar National Population and Housing Census 2014) Population density: 51. 8 persons per square kilometer, which ranks 10th in state population density in Myanmar. For the population in urban and rural areas, the census results showed that for every 100 persons, 78 persons lived in rural areas while 22 persons live in urban areas. The Population Pyramid of Kayin State, 2014 Source: 2014 Myanmar Population and Housing Census Geography Kayin state is formed of 4 districts, 7 townships and 458 villages with 30,383 sq. km area of land. The lowland areas, especially in the west, practice rice farming. In the east, many areas are hilly and covered with forests, with people practicing upland farming. The rocky Dawna Mountain range runs along the length of Kayin state in the east, and the southern and western parts of Kayin state, particularly around Hpa-An area. Air and Rail Transport Kayin State lacks railway infrastructure. The main rail line is only linked to the closest town in Mon State. The airport in Hpa-An and Pha-pun are rarely used for domestic and international flights.

The Situation in Karen State After the Elections PAPER No
EBO ANALYSIS The Situation in Karen State after the Elections PAPER No. 1 2011 THE SITUATION IN KAREN STATE AFTER THE ELECTIONS EBO Analysis Paper No. 1/2011 For over sixty years the Karens have been fighting the longest civil war in recent history. The struggle, which has seen demands for an autonomous state changed to equal recognition within a federal union, has been bloody and characterized by a number of splits within the movement. While all splinter groups ostensibly split to further ethnic Karen aspirations; recent decisions by some to join the Burmese government’s Border Guard Force (BGF) is seen as an end to such aspirations. Although a number of Karen political parties were formed to contest the November elections, the likelihood of such parties seriously securing appropriate ethnic representation without regime capitulation is doubtful. While some have argued, perhaps correctly, that the only legitimate option was to contest the elections, the closeness of some Karen representatives to the current regime can only prolong the status quo. This papers examines the problems currently affecting Karen State after the 7 November elections. THE BORDER GUARD FORCE Despite original promises of being allowed to recruit a total of 9,000 troops, the actual number of the DKBA (Democratic Karen Buddhist Army) or Karen Border Guard Force has been reduced considerably. In fact, a number of the original offers made to the DKBA have been revoked. At a 7 May 2010 meeting held at Myaing Gyi Ngu, DKBA Chairman U Tha Htoo Kyaw stated that ‘According to the SE Commander, the BGF will retain the DKBA badge.’ In fact the DKBA were given uniforms with SPDC military patches and all Karen flags in DKBA areas were removed and replaced by the national flag.

OPERATIONAL BRIEF Southeast Myanmar
OPERATIONAL BRIEF Southeast Myanmar OVERVIEW Southeast Myanmar is composed of Kayah, Kayin and Mon states, and Tanintharyi Region, bordering Thailand to the east and south, Bago Region and the Andaman Sea to the west and Shan State to the north. With a population of approximately 5.3 million (2014 national census) this area is inhabited by Mon, Bamar, Kayin, Rakhine, Chin, Kachin, Pa-O, Shan, Salone and Malay ethnic groups. At Myanmar’s independence in 1948, discord between the Government and ethnic groups over federalism instigated armed conflicts between the Myanmar security forces and ethnic armed groups, including New Mon State Party (NMSP), Karen National Union (KNU), Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA) and Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP). Routine clashes in rural areas of the southeastern region resulted in decades of instability and the protracted displacement of 110,000 people in ten refugee camps in Thailand as well as 12,400 people in six internally displaced persons (IDP) camps along the Thai- Myanmar border in Shan and Kayin states. In 2015, the ethnic armed groups KNU and DKBA signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), marking a historic first step towards restoration of peace in the area. As of May 2017, a total of 2,370 refugees and 9,386 IDPs verified by UNHCR had returned for permanent stay in the area. The total verified refugee population stands at 100,388 people. PARTNERSHIPS Since 2008, WFP has been providing food and nutrition Government Ministries support to people living with HIV (PLHIV) and TB clients in Southeast Myanmar through IOM. To expand its Ministry of Planning and Finance scope, WFP opened its Mawlamyine field office in June Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Ministry of Education 2014 to support the most vulnerable populations from conflict-affected areas and to assist future returnees Ministry of Health and Sports from Thai border camps with unconditional food/cash Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation transfers during the transitioning period.
