About 1 billion more people could be exposed to mosquito-borne diseases as temperatures continue to rise with climate change, according to a new study
About a billion more people might be exposed to mosquito-borne diseases as temperatures continue to rise with climate change, according to a new study.
Diet drugs could halt mosquitoes' blood-sucking behavior, study saysThe authors of the new study, published Thursday in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, created a model that includes data on predicted temperature changes and the known range of the day-biting, disease-carrying mosquitoes Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti.Europe will probably see some of the biggest increases in diseases from both of these species, the researchers say.
"If Florida, for instance, is going to see a lot of dengue, they're going to need to be better prepared, and if the southern US is going to suffer more dengue, that would be bad," Cohen said."Information like this is very interesting and very important. We hope politicians and policy-makers will get this and act on this concern."
