In 2030 Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo, Gabon, the southern coast of Benin, Nigeria, Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast will be climatically suitable. Marginal zones include the Western coast of Mauritania and Morocco. In 2070, expansion especially into Lybia and Egypt | |||||||
Worldwidea | Aedes aegypti | Average temperature increase, variations in diurnal temperature | Yes | Increases | Yes | 30, | |
Dengue epidemic potential decreases at more than 29ºC. Increased risk in the Northern hemisphere and parts of Southern Africa | |||||||
Worldwidea | Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus | Net effect of climate change | Yes | Increases | Yes | 46, | |
Changes in dengue distribution in 2080. Limiting factor is the absence of Aedes aegypti. | |||||||
