| Research Abstract |
The relationship between the life cycle and climate conditions of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles was modeled to describe its temporal and geographic distribution at a fine resolution. Since the mosquito grows through immature life stages in an aquatic environment, the model was designed to express the surface moisture conditions conducive to the mosquito's growth. The development of the mosquito was estimated using either air or water temperature, depending on the developmental stage of the mosquito's life cycle. As a result, the model was able to predict seasonal patterns of occurrence of Anopheles at representative sites with a more reasonable degree of accuracy. This model was then applied using simple climate data to obtain the geographic distribution of the occurrence of various species of Anopheles in Monsoon Asia.
