Climate change may raise risks of rodent-borne diseases
Original: Changing climate may influence risks from deadly rodent-borne diseases
New coverage from Phys.org and the Natural History Museum warns that shifting climate conditions could change the risks posed by deadly rodent-borne diseases. Warmer temperatures and altered rainfall patterns may expand rodent habitats and increase human contact with pathogens such as hantavirus and Lassa fever, prompting calls for improved disease surveillance as environments change.
Why now: Scientists and museums are highlighting new research linking climate shifts to the spread of rodent populations and the diseases they carry.
