National and regional impacts of climate change on malaria by 2030

The article reports projection of malaria by 2030 using A1B scenario of PRECIS model basically derived from HadRM3. Malaria scenario has been defined in terms of opening of months of malaria transmission based on minimum required temperature and relative humidity for baseline (1961–1990) and by 2030. Detailed analysis has been done for four vulnerable sectors, viz. Himalayan region, northeast, the Western Ghats and coastal region.
