Model-based malaria surveillance that incorporates climate effects is recognised as an adaptation strategy to address the impact of climate variability on malaria outbreaks. Climate is one of the drivers [...] cannot identify causal relations or account for non-linear interactions of malaria drivers. The non-stationarity of the malaria data and the varying impact of predictors across seasons suggested that f [...] understanding of the impact of climate change on the malaria burden by developing...
