Geo-additive modelling of malaria in Burundi Hermenegilde Nkurunziza, Albrecht Gebhardt, Jürgen Pilz Malaria Journal 2011, 10:234 (11 August 2011) Models suggest a strong positive association between malaria incidence in a given month and the minimum temperature of the previous month. Non-climatic variables include socio-economic conditions, food shortage, limited access to healthcare service, precarious housing, promiscuity, poor hygienic conditions, limited access to drinking water, land use and displacement of the population.
