About this document
Climate Change and Vector-Borne Diseases by Verónica Bertero is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Climate change is affecting the transmission and spread of vector-borne diseases by making conditions more suitable for vectors. Warmer temperatures allow vectors to survive and reproduce more, lengthening transmission seasons. Changes in precipitation are also influencing vector populations, though the relationship is complex. Addressing climate change through emissions reductions and adapting disease prevention and control efforts will be important to confront this enduring public health challenge.
