malaria, which occurs primarily in tropical and subtropical regions, is caused by the Falciparum plasmodium. A crucial factor for the spread of this disease are climatic conditions such as temperature and moisture. These can influence the life cycle of the pathogen in the anopheles mosquito, which means that malaria hardly occurs in cooler regions or in higher altitudes. In areas where the conditions for the mosquitoes are unfavorable, the spread is severely restricted. Most malaria cases can be found in sub-Sahara Africa, but parts of Oceani as well as central and South America are also affected, which cdc explains in detail.
