Abstract

Malaria remains a significant health challenge in India, prompting a thorough analysis of cases in recent years from 2020 to 2022. This study focuses on understanding the spread of malaria over time and across different states, specifically emphasizing the impact of climatic factors such as rainfall and temperature. India’s diverse climatic conditions, ranging from hot summers to cold winters, contribute to the complexity of malaria dynamics. Variations in malaria prevalence were observed with changes in rainfall and temperature, particularly during the months of July to October. Our findings reveal a notable increase in malaria cases during a period characterized by significant rainfall and temperature. The study identifies a significant prevalence of malaria cases in India’s West, East, and North East regions with peak transmission occurring in the rainy season months. Considering the intricate interplay between climatic factors and disease transmission, this study contributes valuable insights for tailored malaria control strategies during heightened transmission periods.
