Role of Climatic Conditions on Malaria Transmission in Chhattisgarh State of India Through a Modelling Study
India represents 3% of the global malaria burden. Chhattisgarh is the second-most endemic region in India in terms of malaria transmission. The research related to the effect of weather variables on malaria transmission through dynamic modelling is at an early stage in India. We attempted to do it with the help of the VECtor borne disease community model of International Centre for Theoretical Physics, TRIeste model for the Chhattisgarh region during 2000–2019. The highest malaria transmission is found in August and September. We also found that the malaria transmissions are found to be more endemic in the districts, namely Baster, Dantewada, Sukma, Bijapur, Narayanpur, Kondagaon, Raigarh, Jashpur, Balrampur, Bemetara and Baloda-Bazar.
