how does global warming causes spread of diseases
Answers
It has been reported that global warming has direct effects on various aspects of human health including infectious diseases. They include heat-related diseases caused by heat waves, injuries, and deaths caused by extreme geological events.
Indeed, many scientists point to global warming as a factor in the spread of malaria and other vector-borne infectious diseases. This camp believes that global warming is likely to disturb a delicate equilibrium and contribute to new epidemics of malaria, yellow and dengue fever and encephalitis.
Mosquitoes and ticks thrive in hotter temperatures caused by global warming. Warmer temperatures tend to make mosquitoes get infected faster and be more infectious. Higher temperatures allow ticks to spread into new areas farther north. When the tick season is longer, people are exposed over longer periods.
