Abstract
The goal of this study was to prepare suitable disease transmission window for malaria with assessing the weather's impact on monthly occurrence of malaria cases in Kolhapur district. The interaction between climatic factors and their biological influence on mosquito and parasite life cycle is a key factor in the association between weather and malaria. In the present study, impact of mean monthly diurnal temperature variations on the incidence of malaria cases found maximum during monsoon (June to September) followed by post-monsoon (October November and December). In the month of June, November, January and May incidence of malaria cases were found maximum in monsoon, post monsoon, winter and pre monsoon season respectively. The mean monthly diurnal temperature variation based disease transmission window during monsoon and the pre monsoon season was ranged between 4.0 and 10.2 0C & 10.2 and 17.7 0C were found favourable for incubation and transmission of mosquitos which results in more incidence of malaria cases. Rainfall events and plays an important role in malaria epidemiology. The rainfall event transmission window was based on rainfall event counts found between 2 and 9 rainfall events in the pre monsoon while 3 and 12 on the post monsoon season which found significantly during this study. These findings would be helpful for local authorities in the monitoring malaria cases at micro level.
