Heatwaves have a major impact on the spread of many diseases — Irish research
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
New research from scientists in Ireland strongly implies that heatwaves have a major influence on the spread of many diseases.
Specifically, the 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.
