Climate change and Malaria

Here's a twist on global warming that I never bothered to think of. Global warming will effect the world biological on various scales, but what will it due to the mosquito count? Great, if we didn't have enough of those blood sucking freaks in the world already. The increase in global temperature has the potential to raise the production rate of mosquitos by a great amount. Also shown in studies, areas of cooler climate now have a higher risk and potential of malaria and various pathogens invading the area.
