Climate warming is expanding dengue burden in the Americas and Asia
2024 Jan 9:2024

Dengue, vectored by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, is expected to present a growing risk with warming temperatures relative to other vector-borne diseases due to its particularly warm thermal optimum (29 and 26°C for the two mosquito vectors, respectively)… In addition to considering temperature, studies to estimate drivers of disease burden may incorporate several additional covariates including El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), urban infrastructure, age structure, human mobility, and immunity (based on past exposure)
