A heated debate on the effect of global warming on malaria incidence has been ongoing for several decades. This enables the effect of climate to be separated from that of disease control measures for two parasites known to respond differently to climate. The researchers used mathematical modeling to analyze the link between malaria cases, regional climate (rainfall and local temperatures) and global climate (specifically the effect of El Nio and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation on the Pacific Ocean).
