| Description: |
Knowing the temperatures that viruses, bacteria, worms and all other parasites need to grow and survive could help determine the future range of infectious diseases under climate change. Researchers have developed a model that can identify the prospects for nearly any disease-causing parasite as Earth grows warmer, even if little is known about the organism. Their method calculates how the projected temperature change for an area would alter the creature's metabolism and life cycle. [Source: ScienceDaily
