Abstract The implications of climate change for malaria eradication this century remain poorly resolved1,2. Many studies focus on parasite and vector ecology in isolation, neglecting the interactions between climate, malaria control and the socioeconomic environment, including disruption from extreme weather3,4. Here we integrate 25 years of African data on climate, malaria burden and control, socioeconomic factors, and extreme weather.

Abstract Late diagnosis and treatment of malaria increase the odds of severe disease by nearly 2.8 times, enhance transmission rates, compromise drug effectiveness, and trigger malaria outbreaks. No continent-wide estimates for malaria treatment delay exist. We estimate delay rates among African children treated for malaria between 2006 and 2022, using 177 nationally representative surveys.
