In our new study, @SadieRyan and I looked for new ways to visualize a difficult policy nuance: rising temperatures will push Zika risk to higher latitudes (left), but equally, huge exposures are projected in east Africa and China (right, in millions).

Our previous work's been read as "the biggest preparedness need - and economic opportunity - for dengue vaccines will be in western Europe."
Our hope is that these maps help show a slightly different nuance about who's 'at risk' from climate change https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/26/1-billion-more-people-at-risk-of-infectious-disease-morgan-stanley-warns.html

In total, we project 1.3 billion people could face new exposure to the temperatures that facilitate a Zika virus epidemic. You can read more in our new study, a huge collaborative effort with @MatthewBonds3 @morde @CourtneyMurdoc3 and many others, now: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.15384

And finally, from @morde and @SadieRyan, some important work that further contextualizes the idea malaria might be moving out of Africa, and viruses like Zika are moving in - which has HUGE implications for what "climate change adaptation" actually means
