A BugBitten blog post discusses a paper published in the journal ‘Infectious Diseases of Poverty’ that examines the recent research trends for studying the effect of climate change on infectious diseases.
Image by ELG21 from PixabayNo matter who you are or where you are from, it’s almost inevitable that climate change will have a major impact on your life. Whether it be rising sea levels or changes in food production, it threatens to upend our lives and ecosystems. It can even affect which diseases you could be at risk for in your region.
However, it’s also possible that certain vectors will disappear from areas where they are currently endemic. Lab experiments have shown that A. aegypti larva die when water temperature surpasses 34°C, as will adults when the air hits 40°C. It is therefore imperative to study the potential impact climate change could have on diseases, both those which are vector-borne and those which are not, as well as how best to mitigate the spread.
