No malaria unless the aenopheles mosquito starts breeding, which is unlikely. I think that Yellow Fever has been all but eradicated in the Americas. Those dreaded diseases are unlikely to pop up.

Other potentially positive developments are that the Creole Butterfly a/k/a German cockroach, might take a good hit. And since the Formosan termite is an aggressive yet delicate bug, it might take a hit, too. Many of its colonies might be destroyed.

I haven't heard them discuss malaria, which I would think would be more of a worry.

That's the biggie. They always have some malaria in the area anyway, and when you combine this amount of standing water with the heat and mosquitoes, it is a real problem.
