Inthisstudy,weaimtoexaminetheeffectofweathervari-abilityontheincidenceofmalariainthesubtropicalcityofGuangzhoufortheperiodof2006–2012,andassistpublichealthpreventionandcontrolmeasures.
MethodsInChina,malariaisanotifiableClass-Bcommunicabledisease,andallcasesofmalariawerediagnosedaccordingtotheunifieddiagnosticcriteriaissuedbyTheChineseMinistryofHealth.
PhysicianswhodiagnosesuspectedorconfirmedmalariacasesmustreportthesecasestoGuangzhouCentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention(GZCDC)throughtheNationalNotifiableDiseaseReportSystem(NNDRS).
Weobtainedthelaboratoryconfirmedcasesduringtheperiodof2006to2012fromNNDRS,andsimultaneousmeteorologicaldata,includingdailyaveragetemperature(indegreesCentigrade),relativehu-midity(asapercentage),atmosphericpressure(inhPa),andwindvelocity(inmeterspersecond)wereobtainedfromthedocumentationoftheGuangzhouMeteoro-logicalBureau(GZMB).
Anegativebinomialregressionwasusedtoidentifytherelationshipbetweenmeteoro-logicalvariablesandmalaria.
