====Resistance and adaptation of vectors====

Higher temperatures accelerate the development of ''Plasmodium'' parasites within mosquitoes, potentially leading to increased transmission efficiency.<ref name=Shapiro17>{{cite journal |vauthors=Shapiro LL, Whitehead SA, Thomas MB |title=Quantifying the effects of temperature on mosquito and parasite traits that determine the transmission potential of human malaria |journal=PLOS Biology |volume=15 |issue=10 |pages=e2003489 |date=October 2017 |pmid=29036170 |pmc=5658182 |doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.2003489 |doi-access=free}}</ref> Additionally, rising temperatures and changing environmental conditions have been linked to the spread of insecticide resistance in mosquito populations, complicating malaria control efforts.<ref name=Shapiro17/> A global survey found that Anopheles mosquitoes in Africa, Asia, and South America have developed increased resistance to commonly used insecticides such as pyrethroids.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Suh PF, Elanga-Ndille E, Tchouakui M, Sandeu MM, Tagne D, Wondji C, Ndo C |title=Impact of insecticide resistance on malaria vector competence: a literature review |journal=Malaria Journal |volume=22 |issue=1 |pages=19 |date=January 2023 |pmid=36650503 |pmc=9847052 |doi=10.1186/s12936-023-04444-2 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
