Heatwaves greatly influence parasite burden; likely spread of disease

New research implies that heatwaves have a major influence on the spread of many diseases - and that many existing predictive models have overlooked this complexity. Differences in heatwaves can increase disease burden by up to 13 times in an animal model.

Original Title: Scientists have discovered that differences in heatwaves – such as how much hotter they are than normal temperatures, and how long they last – can increase disease burden by up to 13 times in a commonly used experimental animal model.
