Abstract

The effect of climate change on autochthonous malaria, in countries where it is still endemic, and the risk of re-emergence in those where it had already been eradicated, is a widely discussed topic nowadays. The role that the increase in temperatures can play is especially relevant in the biological cycle of both the vector and the parasite that causes the disease. In this study, we analysed the seasonal distribution of autochthonous malaria in Spain and the effect of the thermal variables on its intra-annual distribution. The obtained results showed that, throughout the period of 1949–1961, almost 90% of the malaria morbidity variability in Spain is explained by thermal variables (R2 = 0.882).
