These factors seem to have increased the abundance of mosquitoes as well as infection rates in humans. The increase in temperatures increases the abundance of vector mosquito species since they can reproduce and survive for longer periods, which, in turn, increases the rate of transmission of the disease. During…

vera (PV) is a form of blood cancer. Another name for this type of disease is myeloproliferative disease. This means your bone marrow produces too many red blood cells. Bone marrow is the spongy center of long bones where blood cells are produced. If you have PV, your bone marrow may also make too many white blood cells and clotting cells (platelets). Almost all people with PV have an abnormal gene (genetic mutation) that causes changes in the way the bone marrow makes blood cells. This gene…
