Climate change and malaria in Canada: a systems approach.
Lea Berrang-Ford,J. D. MacLean,Theresa W. Gyorkos,Theresa W. Gyorkos,James D. Ford,Nicholas H. Ogden +5 more
TL;DR: Climate change will increase the occurrence of temperature conditions suitable for malaria transmission in Canada, which, combined with trends in international travel, immigration, drug resistance, and inexperience in both clinical and laboratory diagnosis, may increase malaria incidence in Canada and permit sporadic autochthonous cases.
