Mosquito bites are a nuisance and a health risk. As the climate warms, mosquitoes can emerge earlier in the year and spread diseases over a longer season.
Mosquito disease days have temperatures suitable for mosquitoes to spread West Nile virus — the most common mosquito-carried disease in the U.S.
Nearly all (95%) of the cities analyzed experienced an increase in mosquito disease days — 18 more days on average compared to the early 1970s.
