How might extreme heat affect the prevalence of dengue and other vector-borne diseases in some areas?
How might extreme heat affect the prevalence of dengue and other vector-borne diseases in some areas?
- Their prevalence will remain unaffected by extreme heat
- Their prevalence will increase due to better pathogen survival
- They may become more common due to increased vector activity
- They may become less common if vector survivability or feeding is compromised (correct)
