Climate change can affect malaria transmission. A study in Senegal used a model to predict future impacts. They corrected biases in climate models to make more accurate predictions. Different scenarios show varying levels of malaria cases by 2100. Some models predict decreases with lower emissions, while others predict increases regardless of emissions.
