If global temperatures increase, will malaria spread to other areas?

May be: The malaria mosquito, the female anopheles, requires a specific temperature range so global warming may have an effect. Other factors include proper humidity and appropriate breeding areas.

Yes: Malaria is spread by the bite of tropical mosquitos of certain species. If more of the globe warms up, then these species can occupy a wider geographic space and this could increase the geographic location of malaria.
