Bangladesh has reported 101 deaths and over 24,000 dengue cases this year, with experts warning infections could triple in August and peak in September, Reuters reported.

Experts say climate change, along with warm, humid weather and intermittent rain, has created ideal breeding conditions for Aedes mosquitoes, the carriers of the dengue virus.

The outbreak, driven by ideal mosquito-breeding conditions, is spreading beyond Dhaka, overwhelming rural healthcare.

Officials urge mosquito control, clean-up drives, and early treatment to avoid a crisis on par with the record 2023 outbreak, according to Reuters.
