Mosquito-borne diseases rise as climate change spreads risk
Original: Addressing mosquito-borne disease trends as climate change bites
Health experts are sounding the alarm over mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya, warning that warming temperatures are expanding the habitats of disease-carrying mosquitoes into new regions. Longer breeding seasons and heavier rainfall are boosting mosquito populations, pushing public health agencies to reassess surveillance, prevention and vaccine strategies as outbreaks occur in areas once considered too cold for transmission.
Why now: Rising temperatures and recent outbreaks of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses in new regions have put climate-driven disease risk in the spotlight.
