How climate change could reshape malaria risk worldwide
Original: What impact will climate change have on malaria?
Attention is turning to the link between a warming climate and malaria transmission. Rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns can expand the areas where malaria-carrying mosquitoes survive, potentially exposing new populations while reducing risk in some regions that become too hot or dry. Researchers and public health analysts are weighing how these changes could affect the global burden of a disease that still kills hundreds of thousands of people each year.
Why now: Climate and global health are major ongoing concerns, and questions about warming-driven disease spread draw wide interest.
