Climate change is a phenomenon that has far-reaching effects on our planet, from rising sea levels to extreme weather events. But have you ever thought about how climate change affects health? Professor Till Bärnighausen from the renowned Heidelberg Institute of Global Health has talked about exactly this in an interview and outlined the potential risks for Europe.
Bärnighausen emphasizes that climatic conditions can affect the course of diseases such as the corona pandemic. But even more worrying for Europe is the possibility that malaria could become endemic again. Some may ask: "Malaria in Europe? Is that even possible?" Yes, and the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, insects that transmit diseases reproduce better, increasing the risk of malaria spreading in Europe.
We have advanced technologies and products that can help detect and treat such threats. One of these products is the Cleartest® Malaria P.f. / Pan. This test is used for the qualitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum and other malaria pathogens (Pan) in human whole blood. In just 10 minutes, the test provides results that can be crucial for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of malaria. Even better, it has a convenient storage temperature of 2-30°C, making it ideal for use in a variety of environments.
The spread of malaria in Europe is a serious concern, but one that can be addressed with the right tools and attention. If you are living or traveling in an area where there is a risk of malaria infection, the Cleartest® Malaria P.f. / Pan can be an indispensable tool. It is always better to be prepared and know what is going on in your body.
Conclusion
The health risks of climate change are real and growing, but with modern technology and scientific know-how we can meet these challenges. It's time we both take climate change seriously and use the tools at our disposal to protect our health.
