Addressing mosquito-borne disease trends as climate change bites

Climate change raises major disease risks for Australia

Disease-carrying mosquitoes thrive in warmer temperatures, raising concerns over the impacts of climate change and what it means for Australia's tropics.

Addressing mosquito-borne disease trends as climate change bites

Prevention measures, including vector control, vaccine deployment and cutting greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming, are critical to counter the growing burden of mosquito-borne diseases in a changing climate, according to a new paper by Monash University researchers.

As Warming Reshapes Mosquito Habitats, Malaria and Dengue Follow Divergent

A Monash University review in Science Advances finds that prevention through vector control, vaccines and emissions cuts is critical as climate change expands mosquito habitats and drives divergent malaria and dengue trends.
