Malaria incidence from 2005–2013 and its associations with meteorological factors in Guangdong China

摘要

BackgroundThe temporal variation of malaria incidence has been linked to meteorological factors in many studies, but key factors observed and corresponding effect estimates were not consistent. Furthermore, the potential effect modification by individual characteristics is not well documented. This study intends to examine the delayed effects of meteorological factors and the sub-population’s susceptibility in Guangdong, China.
