Malaria seasonality and rainfall seasonality in Sri Lanka are correlated in space (Publications)
seasonality of malaria and seasonality of rainfall was studied in Sri Lanka. A simple seasonality index was developed by making use of the bimodal seasonality of both malaria and rainfall. The malaria seasonality [...] rainfall seasonality index in explaining the malaria seasonality index was found to be significant. The results suggest that rainfall is an important driver of malaria seasonality
Mapping and predicting malaria transmission in the People's Republic of China, using integrated biology-driven and statistical models (Publications)
humidity, which thus determines the extent of malaria transmission. However, in regions with relative humidity > 60%, temperature is the major driver of malaria transmission intensity. By integrating bio [...] The purpose of this study was to deepen our understanding of Plasmodium vivax malaria transmission patterns in the People's Republic of China (P.R. China). An integrated modeling approach was employed [...] and statistical models. A Delphi approach was used to determine environmental...
