Climate Variability and Human Health Impacts in Brazil

The highlights are as follows.  

• Characterization of a natural decrease in malaria incidence during ENSO years in northern Amazonia Brazil.
• Development of a conceptual model on the social vulnerability of the population to the health impacts of climate variability in tropical America.
• Assemblage in digital format of a large time series of malaria data (up to 40 years), on a monthly basis, that would otherwise be lost.
