Climate Change Is Increasing the Risk of the Reemergence of Malaria in Romania

The climatic modifications lead to global warming; favouring the risk of the appearance and development of diseases are considered until now tropical diseases. Another important factor is the workers’ immigration, the economic crisis favouring the passive transmission of new species of culicidae fro...

The increase of the number of local cases reported in 2007–2011 indicates that the conditions can favour the high local transmission in the affected areas.
