Infectious diseases are changing due to the environment and altered interactions among
hosts, reservoirs, vectors, and pathogens. This is particularly true for zoonotic diseases that …

Vector-borne diseases are on the rise globally. As the consequences of climate change are
becoming evident, climate-based models of disease risk are of growing importance. Here …

More than 80% of the global population is at risk of a vector-borne disease, with mosquito-
borne diseases being the largest contributor to human vector-borne disease burden …

There are currently over 80 species of mosquito endemic in Canada—although only a few of
these carry pathogens that can cause disease in humans. West Nile virus, Eastern equine …

Climate drives population dynamics through multiple mechanisms, which can lead to
seemingly context-dependent effects of climate on natural populations. For climate-sensitive …

Climate change is expected to have complex effects on infectious diseases, causing some to
increase, others to decrease, and many to shift their distributions. There have been several …

Vector-borne diseases are transmitted by haematophagous arthropods (for example,
mosquitoes, ticks and sandflies) to humans and wild and domestic animals, with the largest …

Background Climate change presents an imminent threat to almost all biological systems
across the globe. In recent years there have been a series of studies showing how changes …

Mosquito-borne diseases cause substantial mortality and morbidity worldwide. These
impacts are widely predicted to increase as temperatures warm and extreme precipitation …

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), especially those with zoonotic potential, are a growing
threat to global health, economy, and safety. The influence of global warming and …
