Article Synopsis
- Climate change is significantly impacting rainfed agriculture in Southwest Ethiopia, necessitating a study to assess rainfall and temperature trends for effective adaptation strategies.
- The study utilized historical climate data from multiple sources and applied statistical methods to analyze trends, revealing a decline in annual rainfall and an increase in temperatures across various stations.
- Results indicate that the main rainy season is experiencing a downward trend in rainfall, while the autumn season shows an increasing trend, highlighting the irregularity of precipitation patterns in the region.
Background: The first part of this study aimed to develop a model for Anopheles gambiae s.l. with separate parametrization schemes for Anopheles gambiae s.

Another common assumption in these type of model is that the mortality rate of mosquitoes is constant over their life span and that their dispersion is negligible. Mosquito models are important in the prediction of malaria and hence there is a need for a realistic representation of the vectors involved.
