The planet's mean air and ocean temperatures have been rising over the last century
because of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These changes have substantial …

Arguably one of the most important effects of climate change is the potential impact on
human health. While this is likely to take many forms, the implications for future transmission …

The ecology of mosquito vectors and malaria parasites affect the incidence, seasonal
transmission and geographical range of malaria. Most malaria models to date assume …

There has been much debate as to whether or not climate change will have, or has had, any
significant effect on risk from vector-borne diseases. The debate on the former has focused …

Background Intensive anti-malaria campaigns targeting the Anopheles population have
demonstrated substantial reductions in adult mosquito density. Understanding the …

Background The persistence of malaria in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa has motivated
the development of novel tools to complement existing control programmes, including gene …

Malaria, one of the greatest historical killers of mankind, continues to claim around half a
million lives annually, with almost all deaths occurring in children under the age of five living …

Background The relative roles of climate variability and population related effects in malaria
transmission could be better understood if regional-scale dynamical malaria models could …

Background Low levels of relative humidity are known to decrease the lifespan of
mosquitoes. However, most current models of malaria transmission do not account for the …

Background It is well known that temperature has a major influence on the transmission of
malaria parasites to their hosts. However, mathematical models do not always agree about …
