Climate Change
What are El Nińo’s effect on environmental and  health ?
El Niño causes excess rainfall and drought. It has been
shown to increase incidence of malaria and cholera;
changes in rainfall impact mosquito habitat and
human water supply. El Niño is also implicated in
outbreaks of dengue fever and hantavirus. More
generally, diminished food supplies may make
populations more susceptible to disease.
