Climate Change Allowing Vector-Borne Diseases To Spread With Ease. - 1 views

  •  
    This study evaluates how the warmer climate has allowed the Asian Tiger Mosquito to invade the Northern American continent with little setbacks as its breeding season is now more suitable due to climate change. Warmer temperatures for longer periods of time and more humidity has lead to an increase in the carrying capacity of the species which is known for its very high potential as a vector (something that helps spread an illness). The numbers of exposed Americans to this vector is expected to double within the century to nearly 60% of the population coming into contact with the new threat. This study also examines the new diseases that public health officials are preparing for as the new climate shows little promise of improving with the current public's attitude towards reform.
