Changes in distribution of vector and water borne diseases due to CWC Key scientific issue gaps, mutual interest, contacts and existing knowledge Interesting projects might benefit UK-India work Type of project that might be needed (training, exchanges, facilities)
Changes in distribution of vector and water borne diseases due to CWC Key scientific issue gaps, mutual interest, contacts and existing knowledge PEK - Dynamic VBD model (malaria LMM), multiple climate model simulations (C-MMACS), downscaling algorithm, station data targets (14 over India), debiasing, ENSEMBLES and other archives, risk change Gaps India parameter values LMM, validation data (clinical), public health contacts Mutual Interest malaria test bed for other VBDs (emerging) e.g. dengue, chik, horizon scanning current climate for potential emergence in UK of current endemic/epidemic disease in India, also Africa to India, common development of generic VBD models, zoonotics Contacts ICT mosquito, NERC and EC FP7 funded projects, Oxfam, CAFOD etc.

Mapping Malaria Risk over India: Preliminary results and African Examples Workshop Delhi, India Thanks to Cyril Caminade and Anne Jones
Rainfall JJA / Malaria Incidence SON Left: Mean Summer (JJA) rainfall (mm/day) climatology over the period 1990-2006 Right: Mean autumn (SON) Simulated Malaria Incidence (%) climatology over the period 1990-2006 -> Higher Risk
Rainfall SON / Malaria Incidence DJF Left: Mean Autumn (SON) rainfall (mm/day) climatology over the period 1990-2006 Right: Mean Winter (DJF) Simulated Malaria Incidence (%) climatology over the period 1990-2006 -> Moderate Risk / High risk near the coasts
Rainfall / Malaria Incidence Annual Left: Mean Autumn (SON) rainfall (mm/day) climatology over the period 1990-2006 Right: Mean Winter (DJF) Simulated Malaria Incidence (%) climatology over the period 1990-2006 -> Moderate Risk / High risk near the coasts
Rainfall / Malaria Seasonal cycle (Land) Shading: Mean Rainfall seasonal cycle (mm/day) averaged between 65 E and 98 E (land grid points) over the period 1990-2006 (ERAINTERIM). Contours: Mean Malaria Incidence seasonal cycle (%) averaged between 65 E and 98 E (land grid points) over the period 1990-2006 (ERAINTERIM). 3 month lag

Malaria climate modelling: Future projections LMM driven by the ENSEMBLES RCMs Mean changes in malaria Incidence (%) with respect to the 1990-2006 climatology for the season SON, based on the SRESA1B experiments performed within ENSEMBLES RT3. -> decrease in prevalence at the Northern fringe of the Sahel
Comments on India LMM Malaria Incidence driven by the rainfall conditions occurring 2-3 months before Lower risk in spring, higher risk in autumn, The north-eastern part of India (and especially the coasts) shows high simulated malaria incidence based on climate indicators. ERAINTERIM closer to CRU, but NCEP and ERAINTERIM runs provide similar results
