“As the planet heats up, animals big and small, on land and in the sea, are headed to the poles to get out of the heat,”the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “That means animals are coming into contact with other animals they normally wouldn’t, and that creates an opportunity for pathogens to get into new hosts.”
“It’s coming for you,” Mordecai said. “If the climate is becoming more optimal for transmission, it’s going to become harder and harder to do mosquito control.” the National Library of Medicine. The researchers’ work concluded that “a prevalently increasing trend in climate change factors corresponds to an increase in victims.”said that 58 percent — 218 out of 375 infectious diseases worldwide — have been “at some point aggravated by climatic hazards; 16 percent were at times diminished.”
“Future risks are not easy to foretell, but climate change hits hard on several fronts that matter to when and where pathogens appear, including temperature and rainfall patterns.”
