Does climate change impact on Malaria transmission?
This trans-disciplinary workshop includes participation of some of the world´s leading climatologists and parasitologists. As a direct effect of the climate change, malaria parasites may encounter high enough temperatures to be able to multiply in their mosquito hosts in areas where malaria a few years ago was considered unthinkable.
