Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of climate on malaria transmission depends on daily temperature variation

TL;DR: Temperature fluctuation makes transmission possible at lower mean temperatures than currently predicted and can potentially block transmission at higher mean temperatures, at the extremes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature variation makes ectotherms more sensitive to climate change.

TL;DR: Using a mosquito as a model organism, it is found that temperature fluctuation reduces rate processes such as development under warm conditions, increases processes under cool conditions, and reduces both the optimum and the critical maximum temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the link between malaria risk and climate.

TL;DR: This work uses a thermodynamic malaria development model to demonstrate that temperature fluctuation can substantially alter the incubation period of the parasite, and hence malaria transmission rates, and finds that it reduces the impact of increases in mean temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Entomopathogenic Fungus for Control of Adult African Malaria Mosquitoes

TL;DR: An entomological inoculation rate model suggests that implementation of this vector control method, even at the observed moderate coverage during a field study in Tanzania, would significantly reduce malaria transmission intensity.
