Abstract
Kenya displays large spatiotemporal diversity in its climate and ecology. I t follows that malaria transmission will reflect this environmental heterog eneity in both space and time. In this article, we discuss how such heterog eneity, and its epidemiological consequences, should be considered in the d evelopment of early warning systems for malaria epidemics.
