The north-eastern parts of South Africa, comprising the Limpopo Province, have recorded a sudden rise in the rate of malaria morbidity and mortality in the 2017 malaria season. The epidemiological profiles of malaria, as well as other vector-borne diseases, are strongly associated with climate and environmental conditions. A retrospective understanding of the relationship between climate and th...

Influenza is a worldwide respiratory infectious disease that easily spreads from one person to another. Previous research has found that the influenza transmission process is often associated with climate variables. In this study, we used autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation plots to determine the appropriate autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model for influenza transmissi...

â  the prediction of maximum temperatures as one of the most important climatic parameters due to climate change, global warming and the recent drought will provide definitely more opportunity for planning and the provision of necessary arrangements for the planners. maximum temperatures are much important in management of natural and water resources, agriculture, development of pests and disea...

BACKGROUND Monitoring and predicting dengue incidence facilitates early public health responses to minimize morbidity and mortality. Weather variables are potential predictors of dengue incidence. This study explored the impact of weather variability on the transmission of dengue fever in the subtropical city of Guangzhou, China. METHODS Time series Poisson regression analysis was performed u...

OBJECTIVE: Characterize the climate impact on population of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky regarding warmth sensation in different periods year. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The length a warm and cold period year was determined. Based mean monthly temperatures, relative humidity, wind speed, maximum minimum temperature, taken from website weather condition records for 2010–2020, equivalent-effective temper...

OBJECTIVES Aedes mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting the dengue virus. The mosquito lifecycle is known to be influenced by temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity. This retrospective study was planned to investigate whether climatic factors could be used to predict the occurrence of dengue in East Delhi. METHODS The number of monthly dengue cases reported over 19 years was obtain...

A 2-year tsetse field survey was conducted in Kajo-keji County South Sudan to determine factors influencing the seasonal abundance of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes. A total of 13,323 tsetse flies of both sexes were collected in the dry and wet seasons. Dry season catches were significantly higher than those of the wet season (DF = 10, t (2011) = 3.477, P (2011) = 0.006; DF = 10, t (2012) = 7.943, ...
