Mosquito-Borne Virus Spreads at 'Unprecedented' Levels in L.A. Climate Change May Make Things Worse
Yahoo! News ^ | Mon, September 30, 2024 | Rong-Gong Lin II

Climate change is exacerbating the risk of potentially dangerous mosquito-borne diseases in California — threatening to turn more of those annoying-but-harmless bites into severe illnesses, experts say. California already grapples with West Nile virus, a potentially deadly disease that was first detected in the state about two decades ago. But officials are now warning of a potential new foe: dengue, a viral infection that in the most serious cases can also lead to life-threatening complications.

Until last year, all dengue cases reported in California were associated with people traveling to a country where the disease is common. But Los Angeles County public health officials are now warning about the "unprecedented" local transmission of dengue, which is commonly found in tropical and subtropical climates.

Just this month, the county Department of Public Health has reported four cases of locally acquired dengue — meaning people were infected in their communities, not while traveling. Three were documented in the San Gabriel Valley city of Baldwin Park; the latest was reported Wednesday in Panorama City, about 30 miles to the northwest.

Usually is seen in people who visited parts of the world where it is prevalent. But most assuredly cannot be brought in through “visitors” who live in countries where the diseases are endemic. Another false narrative complete with gaslighting(bold faced lies) with tons of text about how climate change is a large factor. Mass migration is not, right? We are doomed by lack of truth in our media outlets.

Have you ever seen the mosquitos in Alaska? It gets cold up there and they are thick.

Teeming masses of Third Worlders with blood borne tropical diseases?

What could go wrong?

I had dengue this spring while living part time in Honduras. Not fun, but good for catching up on sleep and weight loss.

I do wonder which part of climate change is causing this. Is it warming, cooling, or the pause part of climate change we should be heavily taxed for this time?

not sure how much mosquitos are a problem outside of the aedes range - it looks like ample coverage either way

I’m in Riverside County and one of those egypti tried to bite me the other night. The mosquitoes around here are very small almost no-see’ms but this one was much larger and had white bands on its legs. Lots of complaints from local citizens that the skeeters are out of control. Many calls for the powers that be to spray.

It surprised me that Aedes aegypti shows as "unlikely" in my area -- Columbia Basin of Washington State -- but not zero chance.

well that was from the CDC so a discount factor applies.

but I suspect the species is present throughout the SE.
