Mapping sting rates

SCIENTISTS HAVE developed a mathematical model to track and predict malaria transmission trends, ultimately quantifying the efficiency of various treatment and eradication strategies in high-risk regions. They used three distinct factors—climate, the extrinsic incubation period and the vectorbias effect—to simulate transmission trends, which could offer a possible way to reduce transmission rates. There were 212 million malaria cases in 2015. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, January 24
