40. Malaria
Plasmodium vivax, with the Anopheles mosquito as a vector, is an
organism causing malaria. The main climate factors that have bearing
on the malarial transmission potential of the mosquito population are
temperature and precipitation.
Assessments of the potential impact of global climate change on the
incidence of malaria suggests a widespread increase of risk due to
expansion of the areas suitable for malaria transmission. The
predicted increase is most pronounced at the borders of endemic
malaria areas and at higher altitudes within malaria areas. The
changes in malaria risk must be interpreted on the basis of local
environment conditions, the effects of socioeconomic development and
malaria control programs or capabilities. The incidence of infection
is sensitive to climate changes in areas of Southeast Asia, South
America and parts of Africa. In these areas the number of years of
healthy life lost may increase significantly.
