TL;DR: A model with more realistic ecological assumptions about the thermal physiology of insects is built, which predicts optimal malaria transmission at 25 °C (6-°C lower than previous models), and predicts that transmission decreases dramatically at temperatures > 28 ° C, altering predictions about how climate change will affect malaria.
