    There is also evidence that higher temperatures increase disease burdens that raise mortality (Burgess et al., 2011). Studies of the relationship between disease and temperature find that higher temperatures are more conducive to the spread and transmission of diseases such as malaria and yellow fever (Alsop, 2007). Malaria and yellow fever have placed a particularly heavy mortality burden on Africa throughout the continent's history (Gallup & Sachs, 2001; Ngalamulume, 2004).

    Citation Excerpt :

    Except for the recently described Plasmodium knowlesi22 (discussed below), infections with other “nonhuman” Plasmodium are considered very rare.2 The overwhelming majority of malaria infections worldwide are caused by P. falciparum and P. vivax,21 with transmission taking place year-round in tropical, lowland endemic areas, and seasonal transmission taking place in more temperate zones or areas of higher altitude.2,23 Before the 20th century, malaria was found throughout most of the nonpolar world, including North America and northern Europe.1
