Urbanization and Disease
The alarming rise of chikungunya and other vector-borne diseases is closely linked to urbanization, which creates ideal breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes. As cities expand, the prevalence of these vectors increases, leading to higher risks of disease transmission. Climate change further exacerbates this issue, shifting mosquito habitats and altering rainfall patterns, ultimately increasing the global disease burden. Despite past outbreaks fading from memory, these viruses remain a persistent threat requiring ongoing public health efforts.In this clip
