INTRODUCTIONThere are various problems that are being addressed in the community due to change inclimate. This climatic changes give rise to spread of infectious disease among people. And onesuch disease that is spreading enormously nowadays among population due to change in climateis Malaria (Raiten and Aimone, 2017).This report will capture the details of the problems that are caused by Malaria and thefactors that are influencing it. This report will also provide solution to address these problemsthat are faced by the people in that community due to spread of disease.Identifying the problem and the various factors that influences malaria in that areaThe problem that is been identified in the locality is climate change. And due to this thepopulation is facing various types of infectious disease such as Malaria. This disease is one ofthe world's most crucial and deadly, tropical, mosquito-borne, parasitic sickness which almostkills a person (Peter, 2017). The factors that influence it can be changes in the climatic conditions such astemperature, patterns of rainfall and humidity has a huge impact on the life of mosquito and onthe increase of malaria parasites in the mosquito and also in the number of of mosquito. Sincethe mid-1950s there have been increase in global temperature in last 100 years. This has led toincrease in transmission rates of mosquito borne diseases as suggested by elementary models. Ithas been identified that due to potential impact of climatic change there will be increase inmalaria. The opportunities for transmission of malaria will be increasing in traditionallymalarious area and in traditionally non-malarious area due to change in climate. At higheraltitudes, there will be a proliferation of malaria-carrying mosquito due to increase in rainfall,temperature and humidity (Liang and Gong, 2017). Malaria is already a problem in loweraltitudes. The growth cycle of the parasite in mosquito will be altered in the warmer temperaturethus allowing them to develop faster, increasing the transmission and thus having an impact onthe spread of disease. Good breeding conditions for the mosquito is there in heavy rainfall. Thefluctuations in temperature can have an impact on the frequency of malaria transmission byenhancing lifespan of mosquito and increasing the population of mosquito. There will be morespread of mosquito at higher temperature as they mature faster. In the spread of malaria wateralso play important roles as in small pools of water the most of the mosquito species breed. Thepossible breading grounds for mosquito increases due to heavy rainfall thus resulting in more the
