Climatic factors, such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind, have significant effects on the incidence of most vector-borne diseases, including malaria. The mosquito behavior, life cycle, and overall fitness are affected by these climatic factors. This paper presents the results obtained from investigating the optimal control strategies for malaria in the presence of temperature variation using a temperature-dependent malaria model. The study further identified the temperature ranges in four different geographical regions of sub-Saharan Africa, suitable for mosquitoes. The optimal control strategies in the temperature suitable ranges suggest, on average, a high usage of both larvicides and adulticides followed by a moderate usage of personal protection such as bednet. The average optimal bednet usage mimics the solution profile of the mosquitoes as the mosquitoes respond to changes in temperature. Following the results from the optimal control, this study also investigates using a temperature-dependent model with insecticide-sensitive and insecticide-resistant mosquitoes the impact of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes on disease burden when temperature varies. The results obtained indicate that optimal bednet usage on average is higher when insecticide-resistant mosquitoes are present. Besides, the average bednet usage increases as temperature increases to the optimal temperature suitable for mosquitoes, and it decreases after that, a pattern similar to earlier results involving insecticide-sensitive mosquitoes. Thus, personal protection, particularly the use of bednets, should be encouraged not only at low temperatures but particularly at high temperatures when individuals avoid the use of bednets. Furthermore, control and reduction of malaria may be possible even when mosquitoes develop resistance to insecticides.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/5056432","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,29]],"date-time":"2020-11-29T00:20:08Z","timestamp":1606609208000},"page":"1-32","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Optimal Control and Temperature Variations of Malaria Transmission Dynamics"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6137-6480","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Folashade B.","family":"Agusto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","volume-title":"Malaria","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2010"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218339015500308"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1205276109"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1890\/08-0659.1"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.01109s1141"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.289.5485.1763"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tree.2011.03.002"},{"key":"8","article-title":"Fourth assessment report: climate change 2007: working group i report: the physical science basis","author":"Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change","year":"2007"},{"key":"9","volume-title":"Climate Change and Malaria","author":"Roll Back Malaria","year":"2015"},{"key":"10","volume-title":"Climate Change and Vector-Borne Disease","author":"The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)"},{"issue":"2","key":"11","article-title":"Climate change and malaria - a complex relationship","volume":"XLVII","author":"The United Nations (UN)","year":"2010","journal-title":"UNChronicle"},{"issue":"9","key":"12","first-page":"1136","article-title":"Climate change and vector-borne diseases: a regional analysis","volume":"78","author":"A.
