Abstract
We compared the level of malaria infection in children from 22 communities
in an area of unstable transmission in the Usambara Mountains, Tanzania, im
mediately before and after one of the strongest recorded El Nino southern o
scillation events. Although this event resulted in 2.4 times more rainfall
than normal, we found strikingly less malaria than in the preceding year.
