The Effects of Climate Changes on The Distribution and Spread of Malaria in Sudan

Abstract

Many diseases in Africa such as malaria are known to be sensitive to climate factors there is a positive corre- lation between malaria, cholera and meningitis, and climatic elements. Regular limits of malaria allocation indicate that malaria could develop for several months in most areas of Sudan due to climate variables. The study found that the malaria cases related to temperature increasing was clearly recognized in the Northern State with 1.59% out of the state population. The highest endemic state was Blue Nile with 2.45% in the Rich Wet Savannah, and the lowest state of malaria infections was Western Darfur with 0.06% cases. The total of malaria infections in northern Sudan is 15.19% of 29 million population, the prevalence of malaria in southern Sudan was 24.5% of 9.5 million population (including 2004 and 2005 returnees) of those examined were infected. Whilst in Khartoum State the mean number of cases increased to reach 60869 in the study period 5.5 million of population as the largest inhibited state.
