rainfall impact
Can create more breeding sides, but can also wash away stagnant water and disrupt breeding
Global distribution of malaria
-Natural transmission is restricted to tropical subtropical
-More than 80 countries around the equator or anemic for transmission
-95 %Of Cases from 30 Country sub saharan africa
-
spatial Distribution
More cases and less developed countries
Temporal distribution
-transmission is mainly between dusk and dawn when anopheles mosquitoes are most active
-highest number of malaria cases are between April and July, and after rain seasons 
Temperature and development of the parasites and the vector
The life cycle of plasmodium within mosquito vectors depends on temperature
Higher temperature means less time required for the parasite to complete the mosquito stage of the lifecycle (8-15 days)
-parasite needs at least 18C° max 40C°(tropical regions)
-Adult anopheles mosquito lifespan four weeks they survive better in humid environments
Most deadly mosquito type
plasmodium falciparum
What causes them to stay?
-Location and climate
-Resistance to insecticides and medication’s
-Temperature
-Rainfall
Acquired immunity
People that are less susceptible to severe infection vulnerable population, such as children under five and pregnant women are high risk due to limited immunity
breeding sites
EDIT
Agricultural practices
-irrigation farming, land clearing for extensive farming, which causes a change in natural landscape and environment which causes increased risk of malaria
-Irrigation methods are used extensively flooding, which causes large stagnant
-Large water containers for farming, domestic animals
-cleared forest which causes all mosquito reading behavior and new territory for them 
Human movement
-population movement, either places people at risk of malaria infection, or results in them, passing a thread to other
-change of natural environment in increase the risk of human vector exposure, and risk for acquiring the disease
-spread of drug resistant parasite from one endemic region to another 
Activities that result in significant population movement
-rural to urban settlement Such as red distribution of population because they don’t have enough resources
-employment, agriculture, and mining
-natural disaster unbearable to live in the area
-conflict Ulting in environmental aggregation, and the displacement of large numbers of people
