El-Ninõ Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and annual malaria incidence in Southern Africa (Publications)
We evaluated the association between annual malaria incidence and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) as measured by the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) in five countries in Southern Africa from 1988 [...] 1988 to 1999. Below normal incidence of malaria synchronised with a negative SOI (El Niño) and above normal incidence with a positive SOI (La Niña), which lead to dry and wet weather conditions, respectively [...] respectively. In most countries there was a positive relationship between SOI...
