Where Plasmodium Lives
Mildness, humidity and rainfall patterns have a drastic effect on the existence of the mosquito and the development of malaria parasites. At lower altitudes, warmer temperatures will change the growth cycle of the parasite in the mosquito causing it to develop faster and increase transmission. In dry climates, heavy rainfall can provide good breeding for the mosquitos. However, in certain areas heavy rainfall can wash out the breeding sites, reducing malaria.
