A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the influence of climate on malaria transmission depends on the daily temperature variation. The researchers found that in areas with low daily temperature variation, such as the tropics, malaria transmission is more sensitive to changes in temperature. However, in areas with high daily temperature variation, such as temperate regions, malaria transmission is less affected by temperature changes. This finding highlights the importance of considering daily temperature variation when studying the impact of climate change on malaria transmission and developing effective control strategies.
