Abstract
Investigating the relationship between climate change and malaria in West Africa using the Hydrology, Entomology and Malaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS)
Highlights
The changing temperature and rainfall patterns associated with climate change are expected to alter the distribution of environmental suitability for malaria transmission in West Africa
Materials and methods We use a mechanistic model of disease transmission to investigate the effects of climate change on village scale hydrology, entomology, and disease transmission
This highly detailed model explicitly simulates water pools that serve as mosquito breeding sites, the life cycle of individual mosquito agents, and the transmission of the malaria parasite between human agents
