    I thought it was a chart of BBC popularity.

    Maybe they think that a rise of 1 case in none is a disaster for Europe?
    If this is an increasing risk, what is the war in Ukraine?

    What would help with a resurgence is recreating all the marshes, beaver ponds etc., as the re-wilders and climate fanatics want, and then importing a load of infected immigrants as per the first gulf war attributed peak in the graph shown.

    Is this to pave the way for Gates’ genetically modified mosquitoes?

    “Malaria in England: a geographical and historical perspective”

    Abstract

    The marshlands of coastal southern and eastern England had unusually high levels of mortality from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. The unhealthiness of the environment aroused frequent comment during this period and it was attributed to an endemic disease known as “marsh fever” or “ague”. Marsh parishes were perceived both as a danger to the local inhabitants and as a deterrent to potential settlers. This paper traces the geography and history of the “marsh fever” in England and shows that the disease was, in fact, malaria transmitted by anopheline mosquitoes. Malaria, once endemic in the coastal marshes of England, had a striking impact on local patterns of disease and death. Yet this study also suggests that the species of malaria endemic in England were vivax and malariae and not the tropical strains of P. falciparum. The paper outlines a number of ways in which “benign” forms of malaria, acting either directly or indirectly, as well as in conjunction with other factors, could have given rise to the unusually high death rates experienced in early modern marshland England. The discussion concludes with an examination of the reasons for the clinical disappearance of malaria during the nineteenth century, its reappearance after the First and Second World Wars and the problem of imported malaria in Britain today.

    So you could argue that CO2/warming/climate change is the real reason for reducing malaria deaths in Europe.
    They obviously do not check any facts before making these crazy statements.

    Is this about Bill Gates’ GMO-mosquito project …?

    William Shakespeare was born at the start of the especially cold period that climatologists call the Little Ice Age, yet he was aware enough of the ravages of the disease to mention it in eight of his plays. Malaria was commonplace beside the river Thames then and even into the mid-Victorian era.
    And I can’t find the reference but it was noted in Murmansk.

    “There were 1,133 human cases of West Nile virus and 92 deaths, the highest since the peak of about 1,548 cases in 2018.”

    So over 25% down since 2018 is things getting worse?

    I’m not sure the BBC understand numbers?

      Perhaps the reporter should have read this old news from Prof Reiter of the Pasteur Institute delivered to their lordships

      https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldselect/ldeconaf/12/12we21.htm

      “…. the most catastrophic epidemic on record anywhere in the world occurred in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, with a peak incidence of 13 million cases per year, and 600,000 deaths. Transmission was high in many parts of Siberia, and there were 30,000 cases and 10,000 deaths due to falciparum infection (the most deadly malaria parasite) in Archangel, close to the Arctic circle. Malaria persisted in many parts of Europe until the advent of DDT. One of the last malarious countries in Europe was Holland: the WHO finally declared it malaria-free in 1970. ….” more

      And a wide ranging world wide petspective about malaria

      Global warming and malaria: knowing the horse before hitching the cart

      Malaria Journal volume 7, Article number: S3 (2008)

      https://malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2875-7-S1-S3

      Concludes “…… Future changes in climate may alter the prevalence and incidence of the disease, but obsessive emphasis on “global warming” as a dominant parameter is indefensible; the principal determinants are linked to ecological and societal change, politics and economics. There is a critical need for cheap, effective control campaigns, as were implemented during the DDT era. A creative and organized search for new strategies, perhaps based on new technologies, is urgently required, irrespective of future climate change…….”
