OBJECTIVE  This study aimed to assess the relationship between deforestation indicators and malaria incidence across all 144 municipalities in Par\u00e1.  METHODS  Using municipal-level data from 2008 to 2019, the study applied geographically weighted regression (GWR) to analyse spatial relationships between malaria incidence and deforestation metrics. These metrics included forest cover loss from the previous year, pastureland, forest cover, fragmentation, urbanisation, and water levels, analysed over three distinct 4-year periods. The study also incorporated poverty levels to examine their influence on municipalities with high malaria risk.  FINDINGS  During the study period, the total deforested area in Par\u00e1 was 30,000 km2, with 679,846 malaria cases reported. Malaria incidence rates varied across municipalities, with stable rates in high-risk areas, and were linked to pastureland, forest loss, fragmentation, and forest cover. The GWR models effectively captured spatial heterogeneity in these interactions.  MAIN CONCLUSIONS  Malaria incidence was associated with areas of Par\u00e1 State experiencing significant forest loss and fragmentation, indicating that changes in forest composition and configuration influence malaria risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0074-02760240143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]],"date-time":"2025-06-02T11:05:13Z","timestamp":1748862313000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessing
