Expert advice against mosquito transmission disease outbreaks, which treated the world population. The world is at risk of facing a mosquito-borne virus infection pandemic. The virus is transmitted by mosquito bites. The cases of the transmission of dengue disease and malaria, a high-treating disease caused by mosquito bites, have increased over the past two decades.
The outbreak is caused by global warming. According to the expert, mosquito-borne dengue cases have increased in high numbers over the past two years, increasing from 500,000 in 2000 to more than five million in 2019, which indicates that by the end of the century, half of the population could be affected by the disease.According to the professor at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies in Spain, based on the study conducted about the virus, global warming due to climate change means that the disease vectors that carry and spread malaria and dengue can find a home in different regions.
The outbreaks can occur in areas where people are likely to be immunologically naive and public health systems are unprepared. The reality is that longer hot seasons enlarge the seasonal window for transmitting mosquito-borne diseases to people, leading to increasingly frequent outbreaks that are increasingly complex to deal with.Based on the researchers findings, dengue is well known for the largely in which it is confined to tropical and subtropical regions because freezing temperatures kill the mosquito’s larvae and eggs.
However, if the current trajectory of carbon emissions and population growth continues, over 4.7 billion people could be at high risk of being affected by dengue and malaria by the end of the century. According to the PA Science Report, which was conducted by Joseph Gamp and Nilima Marshall, experts warned that the mosquito-borne outbreaks could spread to parts of northern Europe and in the coming years other regions of the world over.
The figures released by the UK Health Security Agency show that it linked the rise of malaria in a lot of countries with an increase in overseas travel following COVID-19 restrictions that led to imported malaria cases exceeding 2,000 for the first time in over 20 years. It was revealed in England, Wales, and northern Ireland in 2023 that the number of cases of malaria has increased since 2004 following travel abroad, compared to 1369 in 2022. In addition, the number of dengue cases reported to the World Health Organization globally has increased by 84 in the last two decades, from 500,000 in 2000 to over five million in 2019. Though in Europe, it is likely that mosquitoes that carry dengue have invaded 13 European countries since 2000, with the local spread of the disease seen in France, Italy, and Spain in 2023.
