A significant level is represented by an increase of between 10 and 20 percent The research comes from the University of Michigan and it finds that the transmission seasons are expected lengthen by about two months per year. With this comes the increasing potential for seasonal outbreaks, even within the cooler regions of the country.<\/p>\n<p>To gather the data, the researchers assessed climate change across various climates and selected four cities from diverse climatic regions of Brazil. Each city was located approximately at sea level and within the suitable elevation range for an abundance of Aedes Aegypti \u2013 the mosquitoes that spread Zika, dengue, yellow fever and other viruses.<\/p>\n<p>The cities were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manaus, a city in the Amazon Rainforest with a tropical rainforest climate.<\/li>\n<li>Recife, an Atlantic coastal city with a tropical monsoon climate.<\/li>\n<li>Rio de Janeiro, an Atlantic coastal city with a tropical savanna climate.<\/li>\n<li>S\u00e3o Paulo, a southern city with a humid subtropical climate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The researchers obtained historical temperature data for 2015-2019 and projections for 2045-2049. They used a computerised predictive model that accounted for how the mosquito\u2019s biting rates, the eggs they laid, the probability of adult survival and mortality rate, and the incubation period depend on temperature. This enabled an assessment of the impact of multiple temperature-dependent vector characteristics on disease risk.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/tech-science\/climate-change-is-expected-to-cause-a-rise-in-zika-infections-throughout-brazil\/article\">Digital Journal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-367\/\">Climate change is expected to cause a rise in Zika infections throughout Brazil<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1576,462,575,10096],"class_list":["post-114434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-brazil","tag-climate-change","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-zika"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114434\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
