Recent reports and studies, including those published under #biorxiv_bioinfo and discussed by @fpinotti92, highlight a concerning rise in dengue fever across Brazil and South America, attributed to various factors including climate change. Research efforts are underway to forecast dengue fever using multimodal data, including climate data, as well as to construct a vaccine candidate targeting Kyasanur Forest Disease Virus. The emergence of the Zika virus three years ago in Brazil has also been linked to shifting patterns of dengue. Scientists, citing rising temperatures as a key factor, note the extension of the territorial range and proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which carries dengue. Additionally, a new single-dose dengue vaccine developed in Brazil, discussed in @ConversationEDU and @nejm, shows promise in combating the fever. The World Health Organization, as reported by @voxdotcom, has identified climate change as a primary cause of dengue's expansion over the past 70 years, with hotter temperatures facilitating the mosquitoes' proliferation.
“The World Health Organization has identified climate change as another primary cause of dengue’s aggressive expansion over the past 70 years. Hotter temperatures and the attendant changes in weather patterns make it easier for the mosquitoes that carry dengue to proliferate.” https://t.co/6tOV6QX8qc
Normally keep personal stuff off here but I recently had #denguefever and I think it is worth highlighting what is going on worldwide with this #mosquito borne virus. One of many articles: The tropical disease that’s suddenly everywhere https://t.co/JyzHXhtOLz via @voxdotcom 1/n

Dengue is ripping through much of South America, where scientists say rising temperatures due to climate change have both extended the territorial range of the mosquito that carries dengue and increased its proliferation https://t.co/SonIg3P7kl
