  With over 50% of the country's population at risk of contracting malaria
despite the introduction of several measures to combat the disease, Zimbabwe is
one of the eight countries in the Malaria Elimination 8 platform of the
Southern African Development Community. Various indicators, including
temperature, population distribution, land cover, and access to hospitals
affect the incidence and spread of this disease. In this paper, we consider
different such indicators and present our analysis of their interaction (e.g.,
how the Plasmodium falciparum Parasite Rate (PfPR) affects the sickle cell
trait) and their effect on malaria incidence in Zimbabwe. We also discuss the
results of our preliminary experiments on predictive analytics of malaria
incidence based on the indicators we have considered.
