How can we prevent the spread of disease in a warming world?

Our warming world is changing the geographical distribution of
several animal species. Mosquitoes have been able to colonise new
regions, places where they haven’t been found before including
Afghanistan and countries in Europe.


According to the World Health Organisation, dengue fever is the
most critical mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Globally
there’s been a 30-fold increase in infections in the last 50
years.


But is there a way to prevent the spread of the disease?
