Megacities worsen climate-prone diseases
2016-03-31 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Crowded conditions in developing world megacities can dramatically increase the effect of climate on infectious diseases, say researchers. A study based on 22 years of rotavirus cases in Dhaka, Bangladesh, found infection rates during the monsoon were around ten times higher in the densely populated centre than the quieter periphery. The virus is the most common cause of diarrhoea in children worldwide and is responsible for more than 400,000 child deaths a year. "As we get more-populated...
