Show abstract
Extreme weather events are common in high malaria burden areas and likely to increase in severity due to climate change. Yet, data on infection rates following these events and the consequences for disease control programs remain rare. Using data from Madagascar, we estimate high rates of infection in the wake of two major tropical cyclones and show infection rebounds rapidly during gaps in standard interventions. Relative to other control options, recently available malaria vaccines have a longer duration of protection, with the potential to address interruptions in prevention deployment. Evaluating this use, we quantify the reduction in symptomatic infections expected for a range of vaccination scenarios. We find long-lasting interventions such as vaccination are a key mitigation measure against climatic disruptions to disease control.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
