Economic development has played an enormous role in shaping the current global distribution of malaria. Where malaria is not adequately controlled, however, its distribution and seasonality are closely related to seasonal characteristics of the climate.
[Full Discussion]The mapping products below therefore aim to illustrate models of climate suitability for
seasonal endemic malaria, and recent climate conditions, such as rainfall anomalies, which may be
associated with epidemic malaria in warm semi-arid regions of Africa. Additional
models, such as that developed by the MARA Initiative, may be included in the future and we welcome the
opportunity to work with others on the further development of these products.
