Ecological Factors May Affect the Epidemiology of Malaria

Sommaire:

Malaria outbreaks and epidemics are usually related to the presence of forests. In some cases however, like in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, cases are very rare. We investigate into the causes of this by means of an epidemiological model, parameterized with data, which takes into account several factors of ecological nature: the presence of non-competent hosts; and the diffuse competition of vector and non-vector mosquitoes. This model is a first attempt to assess the relative importance of different factors related to biodiversity in the causes of vector-borne epidemics.
