Abstract | https://malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12936-018-2197-5Background: Wind conditions, as well as other environmental conditions, are likely to in uence malaria transmission through the behaviours of Anopheles mosquitoes, especially around water-resource reservoirs. Wind-induced waves in a reservoir impose mortality on aquatic-stage mosquitoes. Mosquitoes’ host-seeking activity is also in uenced by wind through dispersion of CO2. However, no malaria transmission model exists to date that simulated those impacts of wind mechanistically. |
