In this Monday, May 23, 2016 photo, an Aedes aegypti mosquito is kept in a glass tube at the Fiocruz institute in Brazil.Although the species is typically found in tropical environments, warmer temperatures have allowed it to travel further north into Canada. Rates of mosquito-borne illnesses are on the rise globally, a trend experts say will continue as the climate warms, presenting new health concerns for Canadians.
“It’s easy to see the effects of climate change with ticks,” Dr. David Fisman, epidemiologist at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, told CTV’s Your Morning. Research shows that the same migration pattern is now happening in mosquitos, particularly with the Aedes Aegypti species which is known for spreading diseases including Zika virus, yellow fever, and dengue fever.
The species was first reported in Ontario in 2017. However, according to Public Health Canada, there is no evidence that Aedes mosquitos found in Canada carry any exotic mosquito-borne illnesses.“For infectious diseases to emerge we think about something called a reproduction number—for it to explode you need each old case to create more than one new case,” he explained.
More gin and tonic
Did you clear this with Elections Canada?
Look for words like “MAY” in the title. Ignore article, it is not news it is propaganda. FakeNewsMedia
There already stupidly borne diseases, incest or something
Love how stupid 99% of Canadians are. Then you got the 1% calling straight bullshit.
Getting tired of the climate change fear mongering yet?
Solution: move 10 miles North. You'll negate risks for at least 100 years. Or if theory is wrong, you'll just be a little colder.
offgrid Meanwhile...
Expert.....right ClimateHoax
Expert daydreams, CTV reports musings as facts.
Climate change may turn western Canada into another California, can’t wait to be able to grow oranges in my back yard.
ElizabethMay A significant opportunity if we are to believe joeoliver1 and his recent drivel.
Global warming also causes violent crime and minor indigestion
The last so called 'expert' said climate change would make them extinct. I like their guess better
DO NOT PANIC! Once 5G rolls out, we will all have more serious health affects to come.
Dddhhhuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh........
Can you get global warming to bring back Soda Licious since it’s doing so much these days?
I pray for snow now 😬 winter come please
*will spread Fixed it for you
This is reason alone to do shit about climate change, we don’t need anymore of these assholes around 😭
Global warming is the leading cause of death for those that have passed, in the process of passing or will be passing on in the future.
And our cold winter will kill it.
August 19,2019
What warm temperatures? It’s mid August and we are at 13 degrees. It’s been rain rain rain and on a lucky day we get high teens.
No because cheapskate municipality don't want to spend money on tackling the problem.
Does that include liberalism? I need to get inoculated
Global warming is a weird way of saying 3rd world migration...
It already has.
Global warming? Have you looked outside It's August and it's only + 10!!!!
Again with the fear mongering!!! MAY FACILITATE? More BS. Pharmaceutical companies are probably behind this one. Need more revenue from another drug for this made up issue! Never ends with this climate BS. No one believes this climate crap anymore, so we need a new twist!
Mosquito headline: We Will Adapt to Canadian Weather and Spread Disease
Elections Canada rules climate ba fees are a scam imo
If the expert had confidence in his/her prediction you would not have to use the word 'may'. Lots of things 'may' happen for lots of reasons, that doesn't make them newsworthy!
Have you cleared this report with Elections Canada?
DO NOT PANIC CANADA!!! Once they start the new 5G service we will all be sterilized and our DNA will get mutated.
Odd The last so called 'expert' I heard mention mosquitoes in relation to climate change claimed they would go extinct
That's a whole lot of horse s**t!
The PANIC in the media is historical today with their 'Climate Change' narrative. Quick, the Russia narrative failed...on to climate change!
Come one just get to the good stuff, like Global warming going to make you sterile, or give kids ADHA or autism!
Holy Moly, this has got to be the 100th different way global warming will have killed us.
It's time to tax mosquitoes. That will naturally reduce mosquitoes.
Okay, enough with this narrative. We are not stupid.
August snow storm in one report and global warming in the next one ?
And I 'may' win the lottery but I probably won't
'Experts note that the effect of climate change on mosquito-borne illnesses is hard to predict.' Then they go on to say be careful travelling south... FakeNews
If he/she is an expert, why is the opinion qualified by 'MAY'?
Thank you 'chicken little' for your ongoing paranoia. Don't forget the plague of locusts.
If the science is so clear, wouldn’t all of the ramifications be clear also?
