ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Climate change has significant implications on ecosystems. We verified the effects of climate change on the malaria vector Anopheles aquasalis using simulated climate change scenarios (SSCCs).

METHODS:

An experimental model was designed for SSCCs, which composed of air-conditioned 25 m3 rooms.

RESULTS:

The wing size was significantly different between SSCCs. A colony of Anopheles aquasalis could not be established in extreme scenarios.

CONCLUSIONS:

Increases in temperature and CO2 in the atmosphere may modify the global epidemiology of malaria, marking its emergence in currently malaria-free areas.
