متن کاملClimate change and infectious diseases in Europe.
Concerted action is needed to address public health issues raised by climate change.

Based on an extensive review of published work and expert workshops, we present an assessment of the infectious disease challenges: incidence, prevalence...
متن کاملGlobal climate change and infectious diseases.
The effects of global climate change on infectious diseases are hypothetical until more is known about the degree of change in temperature and humidity that will occur. Diseases most likely to increase in their distribution and severity have three-factor (agent, vector, and human being) and four-factor (plus vertebrate reservoir host) ecology. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes may m...
