Projected change in the distribution of malaria's vectors
Under a climate change scenario with a rise of 2°C Africa wide temperature, 10% increase of summer rainfall and 10% decrease in winter rainfall. The overall climatic suitability of a nominated location for the two species of mosquitoes is provided by an Ecoclimatic Index (EI), which combines the annual potential for population growth, with the annual stresses that limit survival during the unfavourable season and with the limiting interacting factor between stresses.
