NewsHotspots of mosquito-borne disease risk predicted in Brazil in coming decades
A new study suggests that the risk of mosquito-borne illness in Brazil will rise significantly by the year 2080, but that climate action could help. In the highest emissions scenario, density is predicted to increase 30 percent nationwide by 2080, but with hotspots in the South and Southeast where density will nearly double.
