Increasing global temperatures wrought by greenhouse gas emissions have boosted the number of dengue cases, new research shows.

Linking how global warming affects health — such as driving outbreaks or spreading disease — remains a new field

Dengue fever has spread at alarming rates this year. New research attributes nearly a fifth of the existing dengue burden to climate change.

In India, the number has increased from 2,33,251 with 303 deaths in 2022 to 2,89,235 cases in 2023 with deaths increasing to 485, according to government data

About 19% of current dengue cases can be tied to climate change, which has expanded the area within which mosquitos transmit disease both in the United States and around the world, researchers report. Even worse, climate change has the potential to spark a ...

Amid record year for dengue infections globally, a new study has found that climate change is responsible for 19 per cent of rising dengue burden.

Climate change is responsible for a 19% increase in dengue cases, highlighting the growing health risks linked to environmental changes.

Climate change is responsible for nearly a fifth of the record number of dengue cases worldwide this year, US researchers said on Saturday, seeking to shine a light on how rising temperatures help spread disease.

Climate change has the potential to spark an additional 40-60 per cent spike by 2050 — and by as much as 150-200 per cent in some areas — according to a study

New research suggests that climate change is currently driving a surge in global dengue infections and that case rates could increase by 60% by 2050.

It’s been a record year for dengue infections, and amidst the surge in cases, researchers have been trying to pinpoint the causes. Now, a new study suggests that climate change is responsible for 19 percent of the current global dengue burden – and could soar as high as 60 percent if nothing is done to combat global warming.
