A nurse takes care of a patient at a hospital near Lima, Peru. The country experienced an outbreak of dengue fever in 2024 — a pattern that was replicated in many countries around the world. A new study suggests climate change may be contributing to the spread of the mosquito-borne disease.

Over 12 million cases of dengue fever were reported in 2024, the most ever. A study suggests climate change has likely played a significant role in the disease’s expansion.
