How climate change could reshape malaria risk worldwide
Original: What impact will climate change have on malaria?
Researchers and data outlets are examining how rising global temperatures may affect malaria transmission. Warmer conditions can expand the range of the mosquitoes that carry the disease, potentially exposing new populations, while changes in rainfall and heat may reduce risk in some current hotspots. The overall question is how shifting climates will alter where malaria spreads and how many people it affects.
Why now: Growing attention to climate change's health impacts is prompting discussion of disease shifts.
