- 1Warming Climate Extends Mosquito Season, Scientists Seek New Controls●Scientists explore new ways to target mosquitoes as warming climate expands threat
Scientists are developing new methods to control mosquitoes as climate change lengthens mosquito season and expands the range of disease-carrying species. The mosquito kills more people than any other animal on earth, spreading diseases such as malaria and dengue, and longer warm seasons give the insects more time to transmit dangerous illnesses. Climate researchers warn the public health threat is growing.
