But dengue fever, another mosquito-borne disease with a lower profile, poses the greater threat to China as the climate warms, says a leading public health expert.<\/p>\n<p>A leaked report on climate adaptation from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), due for publication next week, also highlights dengue as a disease set to spread, along with diarrheal illnesses and schistosomiasis &ndash; a parasitic condition transmitted by snails that had almost been eliminated in China and is now expected to see a resurgence in the north of the country thanks to rising temperatures and rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 600 people fell ill with dengue in a single outbreak in Yunnan last summer, the latest in a growing number of epidemics seen in China since the 1990s that started in the southern coastal regions of Guangdong, Hainan and Guangxi and have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/content\/83\/3\/664\">crept further north and west to Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Dengue is an important problem. It&rsquo;s set to increase and we aren&rsquo;t doing enough to develop concrete tools for its control,&rdquo; says Debarati Guha-Sapir, director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) and professor at the University of Louvain School of Public Health in Belgium. &ldquo;In China I would say that, with urbanisation aggravated by climate change&hellip;The burden of disease is going to be a problem.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>China&rsquo;s outbreaks are the tip of the iceberg: the world has seen a 30-fold increase in dengue cases over the last 50 years, according to the World Health Organisation, which estimates there may be 50-100 million infections globally each year. Fiji alone has recorded more than 10,000 cases since October 2013, with 11 deaths. Twenty-two people have already died in Malaysia this year.<\/p>\n<p>Until 1970, only nine countries had been hit by severe dengue epidemics &ndash; now it is endemic in more than 100, says the WHO. And the Asia Pacific region is particularly vulnerable, bearing up to 70% of the disease burden according to the data platform DengueNet.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nUrbanisation driving disease<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nLike malaria, dengue&rsquo;s distribution has been linked to a shifting climate &ndash; mosquitos thrive in warmer, wetter conditions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plosntds.org\/article\/info:doi\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.0002503\">In Mexico, researchers have found<\/a> the number of people falling ill rises at temperatures above 18 degrees Celsius and below 35 degrees. They predict a 40% increase in cases in areas where the disease is already established by 2080, compared with 1990-2000 figures. A similar study in Singapore established <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2799326\/\">a link between dengue incidence and average temperature and precipitation<\/a> in the city state.<\/p>\n<p>Climate shifts are not the only relevant factor, however. In China, says Sapir, the growth in dengue is linked to a fateful combination of &ldquo;rampant urbanisation&rdquo; and increasingly severe weather events like cyclones and tropical storms, which conspire to create the ideal conditions for tropical disease. The mosquito that transmits dengue &ndash; the aedes aegypti &ndash; can&rsquo;t fly very far and so the virus thrives in densely populated cities and towns. Moreover, concretisation of large spaces in China is reducing water run-off, boosting urban flooding and providing new breeding sites for mosquitos.<\/p>\n<p>As worrying as the geographical spread of the disease is the fact it appears to be getting more aggressive, explains Guha-Sapir. Although most cases involve only a high fever, rash and joint pain, the proportion of people contracting dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has been steadily rising. DHF is a severe form of the disease, with symptoms including bleeding from the nose and gums and internal haemorrhaging, and can be fatal.<\/p>\n<p>Since there is no vaccine or cure for dengue, this poses a challenge for public health systems. The only way to treat a severely ill patient, explains Sapir, is to keep replacing the liquids being lost, meaning regular blood and plasma transfusions and very focused care &ndash; easy in a big metropolis, perhaps less so in any number of the burgeoning cities in China&rsquo;s poorer parts.<\/p>\n<p>What can be done to stem the tide? Sapir says the Chinese government should work rapidly to &ldquo;unpack&rdquo; its recent outbreaks, looking for patterns that link the people getting sick and using the information to build policy &ndash; for example, the age of victims could prompt an awareness building campaign for young adults. The country&rsquo;s schistosomiasis eradication programme has shown its public health system can be &ldquo;extremely well organised&rdquo;, she adds.<\/p>\n<p>Allowing dengue more space beside malaria on the global health agenda could help too. &ldquo;Malaria has taken a lot of the oxygen,&rdquo; says Sapir. &ldquo;Dengue has attracted more attention [than in the past] but still it hasn&rsquo;t attracted enough to provide effective research, control and early detection and treatment.&rdquo; There are signs this could be changing. The WHO has a plan to reduce global dengue morbidity by 25% &ndash; and deaths by 50% &ndash; by 2020 through better detection and treatment of severe cases, training of health staff and other measures. The IPCC report is another signal of increased interest.<\/p>\n<p>This is not to say malaria should get less attention. Mercedes Pascual, professor of ecology at the University of Michigan and co-author of the recent <i>Science <\/i>paper on malaria in the highlands of Ethiopia and Colombia says surveillance of the disease needs to be extended to newly vulnerable regions. Her research suggests a temperature rise of just one-degree Celsius will lift the area with malaria exposure by 150 metres. In China too, there are risks: a 2012 paper from a group of Chinese scientists concluded that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plosone.org\/article\/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0043686\">shifting rainfall patterns were driving a re-emergence of malaria in northern Anhui province<\/a>, in east China.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRisky predictions<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nDrawing broad conclusions from such research comes with a health warning, however. Pascual is quick to point out that extrapolating from her research to regions like Europe &ldquo;makes no sense&rdquo;. Felipe Colon, co-author of the study on dengue in Mexico, meanwhile says under- and over-reporting of the disease and reliance on climate modelling are sources of uncertainty, as is lack of data on the confounding effect of socioeconomic development on its spread <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]-->&ndash;<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>\n \n  Normal\n  0\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  false\n  false\n  false\n  \n  EN-GB\n  ZH-CN\n  X-NONE\n  \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n  \n  \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n   \n  \n<\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]>\n\n\n<style>\n \/* Style Definitions *\/\n table.MsoNormalTable\n\t{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\";\n\tmso-style-parent:\"\";\n\tline-height:115%;\n\tfont-size:11.0pt;\"Calibri\",\"sans-serif\";}\n<\/style>\n\n\n<![endif]--> the distance between houses, for example, can make a big difference to a mosquito&#8217;s ability to find suitable hosts. &ldquo;Making predictions is risky,&rdquo; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Others, like Kevin Lafferty, an ecologist at the US Geological Survey, point out that even if the distribution of tropical disease changes with climate change, that won&rsquo;t necessarily translate into an overall rise. &ldquo;As the <em>Science <\/em>paper indicates, warming will make it warm enough for malaria to transmit at higher altitudes than before,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;But, that also means that in some places it will be too warm to transmit malaria at lower altitudes. Of course, people have less interest in that part of the story.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increasingly severe outbreaks of the dengue virus in south China and
