Map reveals locations of the world's most dangerous epidemics

Communication – Agencies:

The researchers have developed a "map" that reveals the "hot spots" of the spread of epidemics around the world, after analyzing the types of animals and birds known on the earth's surface, and identified organisms that can carry a range of viruses that can be transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks.

Researchers and scientists from the University of California at Davis, USA, have identified the most serious diseases and epidemics that can result from these viruses, namely West Nile, zika, encephalitis Japanese, dengue fever, yellow fever and Rio Bravo.

The scientists then exposed what they thought were hot spots for the spread of these viruses and the resulting diseases.

According to the map, there will be four hot virus outbreaks in the world, namely Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia and Malaysia, where it is thought that yellow fever and the zygote occur.

The second axis concerns the spread of the Japanese encephalitis virus and covers all of Europe except Russia, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.

Brazil is the third home of dengue and Rio Bravo, while the fourth is West Nile virus, which covers North America, specifically the United States and Canada.
