Climate change increasing dengue fever threat in Asia, which could become a pandemic

Christian News,World Christian News,Malaysia Church,Religion Christianity

So far, the efforts by governments and international organisations to contain the danger have failed. Dengue fever has no cure and the only prevention is via elimination of the Aedes mosquito. The most dramatic situation is in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh.

The increase in rainfall due to climate change-induced longer rainy periods means that a disease previously linked only to the rainy season is becoming a risk all year round and for several experts, it is close to becoming a global pandemic. Overall, it is likely that a new record will be set in the current monsoon season after last year's 290,000 cases, which in turn were higher than the 190,000 in 2022.

Southeast Asia is another area particularly sensitive to the spread of infection by female mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. Endemic in this region, it seems to be slightly less severe this year, but it could see significant progression in the coming years.
