How do climate changes affect vectorborne diseases?

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly, the geographic range of A. aegypti (and other vectors) is limited by cooler ambient temperatures. As the Earth warms, the concerns are that the mosquito and virus will spread to higher latitudes and altitudes, that incidence will increase, and that the transmission season will lengthen in some endemic areas.

Hope this is fine for you
