On the other side, the president of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine (SBMT), Carlos Henrique Costa Nery, told IPS that it is not outrageous to say that climate change has inevitable consequences for tropical diseases.
Global warming is tropicalising subtropical regions; rising temperatures could bring an explosion of parasite and insect vectors that are expanding into North America, the Southern Cone of South America, Australia and New Zealand, Costa Nery said.
