Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and chikungunya are spreading to new regions due to climate change and global trade.
Learn how these diseases are evolving and what steps can be taken to mitigate their impact.

Impact of Climate Change on Mosquito Habitats

Climate change is expanding mosquito territories by creating favorable conditions for their reproduction. Warmer temperatures and increased rainfall allow species like Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus to thrive in regions that were once inhospitable. This has led to outbreaks of diseases like dengue in areas such as South America and high-altitude cities that were previously dengue-free.
