pilot-study on gis-based risk modelling of a climate warming induced tertian malaria outbreak in lower saxony (germany).	the area under investigation, lower saxony (northwest germany), is a former malaria region with highest incidences along the coastal zones. malaria had finally become extinct in the early 1950s. subsequently, further scientific investigations in that field declined. nevertheless, the vector in shape of anopheles mosquitoes has still been present in lower saxony. thus, the question arises, whether a new autochthon transmission could take place if the pathogen is introduced again and could develop ...	2007	17503214
spatial modelling of the potential temperature-dependent transmission of vector-associated diseases in the face of climate change: main results and recommendations from a pilot study in lower saxony (germany).	the sustained climate change is going to modify the geographic distribution, the seasonal transmission gate and the intensity of the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria or the bluetongue disease. these diseases occur nowadays at higher latitudes or altitudes. a further rise in ambient temperature and rainfall will extend the duration of the season in which mosquito vectors are transmitting pathogens. the parasites transmitted by the vectors also benefit from increasing temperat ...	2008	19030886
