Modelling entomological-climatic interactions of Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission in two Colombian endemic-regions: contributions to a National Malaria Early Warning System

Abstract: Background: Malaria has recently re-emerged as a public health burden in Colombia. Although the problem seems to be climate-driven, there remain significant gaps of knowledge in the understanding of the complexity of malaria transmission, which have motivated attempts to develop a comprehensive model.

“…For several decades, environmental and demographic factors have been linked to malaria incidence in Colombia and other countries (Matola et al 1987, Loevinsohn 1994, Méndez & Carrasquilla 1995, Bouma et al 1997, Bouma & Dye 1997, Ruiz et al 2006). Hence, our results could be an initial input for a EWS for malaria outbreaks in Colombia.…”

“…Thus, studies have been conducted to determine the relationship between the incidence of malaria in a population and meteorological conditions and other environmental factors such as the vegetation index, land use and altitude (Singh et al 1996, Bouma et al 1997, Bouma & Dye 1997, Thompson et al 1997, Kleinschmidt et al 2000, Mauny et al 2004, Ruiz et al 2006, Chaves & Pascual 2007). …”

“…The approach has been to assist the health sector to better cope with current climate variability and climate-related events, as a means to make it better prepared against future climatic conditions likely to be brought by the ongoing long-term global climate change. As a result, Colombia has been working on reducing people's vulnerabilities to the negative impacts of malaria and dengue outbreaks, as well as developing an Early Warning System framework, supported by seasonal forecasting capabilities, weather and environmental monitoring, and statistical and dynamic models [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
