Meningococcal (epidemic) meningitis – land erosionNeisseria meningitidis
•Transmission of N.meningitidis is by direct droplet contact
•20-40% of the population in West Africa are symptomless carriers
•Meningococcal meningitis occurs when the bacteria penetrate the mucous membrame
•Changes in the proportion of clinical to subclinical infections rather than the risk of infection are thought to explain changes in the incidence of disease

Conclusions• Climate models are beginning to become sufficiently realistic
that reliable predictions of temperature and rainfall are possible on weather and seasonal climate timescales
• Uncertainties in prediction are associated with sensitivity to initial conditions and model formulation. The effect of these uncertainties can be represented using ensemble prediction techniques
• Application models can be coupled to climate models allowing probabilistic predictions of user-relevant variables; weather/climate variables are intermediate
• Health-based applications include studies of epidemic malaria in Africa – there is the potential for other quantitative health-based applications.
