Dengue and chikungunya may soon be endemic in Europe due to global warming, research shows

A new study published Thursday in the Lancet Planetary Health shows dengue and chikungunya may soon become endemic in Europe due to tiger mosquitoes spreading northward.
The study analyzes data from the last 35 years and links increased outbreaks in Europe to rising temperatures caused by human-driven climate change.
Dengue outbreaks have occurred in Italy, Croatia, France, and Spain, with over 300 cases recorded in the EU during 2024, the hottest year on record.
The European research team warned that rising temperatures will significantly increase the likelihood of outbreaks linked to tiger mosquitoes, predicting that these outbreaks could increase fivefold by 2060.
The study concludes that the EU is shifting from sporadic Aedes-borne disease outbreaks toward an endemic state, with cases possibly underreported in poorer areas due to uneven testing.
