La transmisión de la malaria en África varía con el clima y la hidrología

by Carolyn Wilke 26 July 202412 August 2024

Los datos sobre las precipitaciones por sí solos no pueden predecir dónde puede aparecer la malaria. Si se tienen en cuenta los procesos hidrológicos, los investigadores pueden hacerse una imagen más precisa de la transmisión.

Hydrology Helps Identify Future Malaria Hot Spots

Hannah Thomasy, Science Writer by Hannah Thomasy 12 October 202011 January 2022

Complex hydrological processes—not just the amount of rainfall—help determine where malaria-transmitting mosquitoes can thrive.

In September 2009, Typhoon Ketsana dropped 455 millimeters of rain on Manila in 24 hours, flooding the city.
