由于全球变暖，2080 年较凉爽地区的蜱虫数量可能会增加 26-99%，这可能会增加蜱传疾病。 2080 tick populations in cooler regions may increase 26-99% due to global warming, potentially increasing tick-borne diseases.
《英国皇家学会期刊》上的一项研究预测，由于全球变暖，到 2080 年，较凉爽地区的蜱虫数量可能会增加 26-99%，从而增加蜱传疾病的患病率。 A study in the Royal Society Journals predicts a potential 26-99% increase in tick populations in cooler regions by 2080 due to global warming, increasing the prevalence of tick-borne diseases. 研究人员建立了一个数学模型, 以预测种群如何因温度变化而变化, 这可能适用于全球其他气候. Researchers built a mathematical model to forecast how tick populations will change in response to temperature changes, which could apply to other climates worldwide. 自 1800 年代后期以来，由于地球的平均温度上升了 1 摄氏度以上，气温升高可能导致较凉爽地区的蜱虫数量增加，从而增加患蜱传疾病的风险。 As Earth's average temperature has surpassed a 1-degree Celsius rise since the late 1800s, warmer temperatures could lead to larger tick populations in cooler regions, increasing the risk of tick-borne diseases.
