本研究は、サハラ以南アフリカにおける人為的な気候変動が小児マラリアの負担を増加させたかどうかを調査した。気温と極端な降水が有病率に与える影響を頑健に検出し、東アフリカと南部アフリカでは気温上昇がマラリアを増加させたが、西アフリカでは同程度の症例を回避したと推定した。今世紀末までに、気候変動は西アフリカと中央アフリカでのマラリア撲滅をわずかに加速させる可能性があり、高排出シナリオでは小児1,000人あたり最大20症例を回避できると予測する。しかし、温暖化を3℃から2℃未満に抑えることで、高地東アフリカと南部アフリカで追加の症例を防げる可能性がある。
English
This study investigates whether human-caused climate change has increased childhood malaria burden in sub-Saharan Africa. It finds robust effects of temperature and extreme precipitation on prevalence, with rising temperatures increasing malaria in East and southern Africa but averting cases in West Africa. Projections suggest climate change could marginally accelerate malaria elimination in West and central Africa, averting up to 20 cases per 1,000 children by 2100 under high emissions. However, limiting warming to under 2°C could prevent additional cases in high-elevation East Africa and southern Africa.

📄 Abstract（原文）
to investigate whether human-caused climate change has increased the burden of childhood malaria across sub-Saharan Africa. We find a robust effect of temperature and extreme precipitation on prevalence, consistent with previous findings at local scales and in laboratory experiments. We estimate that rising temperatures have probably increased malaria in East and southern Africa, but averted a comparable number of cases in West Africa, with a net impact of 1 excess case per 1,000 children (95% confidence interval (CI) -4 to 6) across the continent. Over the coming century, we project that climate change could marginally accelerate the elimination of malaria in West and central Africa, where the present-day burden is highest; across the continent, this could avert 1 (low greenhouse gas emissions: 95% CI -2 to 6) to 20 (high greenhouse gas emissions: 95% CI 0-52) cases per 1,000 children by the end of the century. However, reducing future global warming from 3 °C to under 2 °C could prevent an average of 5 excess cases per 1,000 in high-elevation (more than 1 km) East Africa and in southern Africa (95% CIs -3 to 13 and -4 to 14, respectively) by 2100. Our study resolves a decades-old debate about one of the first suspected health impacts of climate change, providing a template for future work measuring its true global burden.
