Climate change expected to worsen malaria risks
Original: What impact will climate change have on malaria?
Attention is turning to how a warming climate could affect malaria. Rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns can expand the range of the mosquitoes that transmit the disease, exposing new populations while changing transmission seasons in existing hotspots. Commenters and data outlets are weighing how significant the added burden could be, and which regions are most vulnerable.
Why now: Climate and global health are prominent topics as warming temperatures raise concerns about the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
