As climate change fuels disease, researchers must reinvent how to fight outbreaks. In Peru and the Amazon, AI and drones can identify dengue and malaria cases.
Flooding, rising temperatures, and droughts aggravate human pathogens. We won’t be able to adapt to all of these diseases; we have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate hazards such as flooding, heat waves and drought have worsened more than half of the hundreds of known infectious diseases in people, including malaria, hantavirus, cholera and anthrax, a study says.
