In the Grip of Malaria in Africa
There is increasing evidence that climate change has a significant role in causing malaria epidemics.

This graphic shows the locations of malaria-free areas, malaria transmission areas and the areas in which malaria has largely been eliminated in Africa, as of 2002.
