摘      要：Objective:To conduct for modeling spatial distribution of malaria transmission in Iran. Methods:Records of all malaria cases from the period 2008-2010 in Iran were retrieved for malaria control department.MOH&ME.Metrological data including annual rainfall,maximum and minimum temperature,relative humidity,altitude,demographic,districts border shapefiles. and NDVI images received from Iranian Climalologic Research Center.Data arranged in ArcCIS. Results:Results:99.65%of malaria transmission cases were focused in southeast part of Iran. These transmissions had statistically correlation with altitude(650 m),maximum(30℃),minimum (20℃) and average temperature(25.3℃).Statistical correlation and overall relationship between NDVI(118.81),relative humidity(≥45%) and rainfall in southeast area was defined and explained in this study.Conclusions:According to ecological condition and mentioned cut-off points, predictive map was generated using rokriging method.
