For anyone confused about how climate change would effect this, in much of the world the only way to escape the mosquitoes is through elevation. 2km above sea level the air temperature is usually too cold for mosquitoes, but as temperatures rise so does that ceiling. So now communities that have been constructed above that zone to avoid them are slowly being swarmed.
