A recent study has highlighted the concerning relationship between higher
temperatures and the virulence of the Dengue virus. As global temperatures
continue to rise, the study suggests that this might lead to an increase in
the transmission and severity of Dengue fever. Warmer climates create a
favorable environment for the Aedes mosquitoes, responsible for Dengue
transmission, thus potentially expanding the virus’s reach. Understanding
the connection between climate change and disease dynamics is crucial for
implementing effective strategies to mitigate the spread of this
mosquito-borne illness.
