Spatiotemporal dynamics of malaria and climate influence on its incidence in Condorcanqui Province, 2005–2022
Malaria incidence in Condorcanqui has increased over the last 5 years, driven by climatic influences such as the ONI, precipitation, and low wind speeds. Without immediate preventive efforts, cases are expected to continue rising. Effective control strategies must tackle the social, economic, and political issues that heighten vulnerability, such as poverty and limited healthcare access. Maintaining control initiatives and tailoring them to local needs will be essential for achieving long-term reductions of malaria in Peru.
