•'Dengue is coming': Climate-fueled rise in cases will affect the US, scientists warn
81% Informative
Nearly 20% of cases of dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, can be attributed to climate change, a new study suggests.
This is the first time climate change has been causally linked to the spread of the disease.
In some areas of Peru , Mexico , Bolivia and Brazil , infections may rise by more than 150% in the next few decades as these regions experience higher temperatures.
"Dengue is going to get worse in places that are currently at the marginal temperature range [for transmission]," Mordecai said.
These locales don't currently see many dengue infections thanks to temperate climates.
Global warming may mean that they need to start dialing up their public health responses to help shrink mosquito populations.
