Current evidence suggests that inter-annual and inter-decadal climate variability have a
direct influence on the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases. This evidence has been …

The projected global increase in the distribution and prevalence of infectious diseases with
climate change suggests a pending societal crisis. The subject is increasingly attracting the …

Abstract The World Health Organization has concluded that the climatic changes that have
occurred since the mid 1970s could already be causing annually over 150,000 deaths and …

Diseases such as plague, typhus, malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever, transmitted
between humans by blood-feeding arthropods, were once common in the United States …

Background: The climate variables that directly influence vector-borne diseases' ecosystems
are mainly temperature and rainfall. This is not only because the vectors bionomics are …

Global change includes climate change and climate variability, land use, water storage and
irrigation, human population growth and urbanization, trade and travel, and chemical …

There has been much debate as to whether or not climate change will have, or has had, any
significant effect on risk from vector-borne diseases. The debate on the former has focused …

Climatic factors influence the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases, in
addition to multiple human, biological, and ecological determinants. Climatologists have …

Many infectious diseases of humans, including ma laria, dengue, cholera, and
schistosomiasis, are restricted to, or more prevalent in, tropical and subtropical zones. Within …
