2021 Science study finds climate change will decrease malaria suitability in Africa, with river corridors and floodplains becoming more suitable.
A study in Science reveals climate change will significantly alter malaria transmission conditions in Africa. The research, using hydrological models and multiple climate scenarios, predicts a general decrease in malaria suitability across Africa by 2100, with areas such as river corridors and floodplains becoming more suitable. This information may aid in targeting and tailoring malaria control plans.
