OBJECTIVES : Research: Conduct research, both empirical and conceptual, aimed at generating knowledge about climate/health associations and appropriate tools for data analysis, with a focus on malaria and dengue. Network building: a) strengthen the flow of information about the impact of climatic variability on human health in the Tropical Americas; b) develop dialogue about interdisciplinary research issues with other organizations working in public health, ecology, climatology and social science; c) build regional capacity to disseminate and utilize effectively data on climate prediction and health. Training: a) increase opportunities for Latin American nationals for training in climate and health research; b) conduct regional workshops an climate and health in the Tropical Americas. Diagnostics and Prediction of Climate Variability and Human Health Impacts in the Tropical Americas METHODS: Interamerican Institute for Global Change Research Cooperative Research Network PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES / INSTITUTIONS : BRAZIL: FIOCRUZ USA: IRI, NOAA, SCS, Univ. of Florida, Univ. of Colorado VENEZUELA: Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Pública COLOMBIA: Univ.

RESULTS : Characterization of a natural decrease in malaria incidence during ENSO years in northern Amazonia, Brazil. Development of a conceptual model on the social vulnerability of the population to the health impacts of climate variability in tropical America. Dengue epidemics have a pronounced seasonality (peaking in the later half of the year) in the Caribbean and are more probable in an El Niño or El Niño + 1 year. There appears to be a close association of the epidemic with temperature. Temperature strongly affects the life cycle of An. albimanus, the main malaria vector in Colombia. Modeling efforts confirm the importance of temperature in explaining malaria incidence in Colombia. Preliminary analysis (vector control variables not included) show an association precipitation/malaria stronger than for temperature in Mexico. Important outbreaks of dengue fever were observed during the ENSO in Mexico. Positive correlation of malaria with mean relative humidity and monthly minimum temperature in Venezuela.
