Zusammenfassung:The study and comparison of warming, mosquitos of genus Anopheles and transmission of malaria in the North of Argentina allow to conclude that a possible change could happen. Warming may have three principal impacts in the epidemiology of this and other vector-borne diseases: a) to shorten vector life cycles; b) to increase the necesity of blood intake by haematophagous insects; c) to increase the risk of bites and transmission of pathogens.
