“Dengue Fever Spreads to Europe: A Consequence of Climate Change”

According to TurProm, dengue fever has appeared in Europe. Near Nice, a tourist contracted the disease. Doctors in the resort region of France are on the verge of panic. British tourist immediately after returning from vacation was in the hospital. She had pain, a rash, and a three-day fever. Previously, dengue fever was mainly infected in tropical countries, and now Europe is also a danger. The virus is spread by mosquitoes gradually moving further north due to climate change. Doctors believe that in the future the incidence will increase.

“Higher temperatures and more precipitation, as well as increased global trade and tourism, mean we can see more parts of Europe with the perfect combination of factors for dengue outbreaks,” said British doctor Owain Donnelly.

The “tropical” virus in the majority of those infected proceeds normally, but 5% of patients develop a severe form and there is a risk of death.
