“…[Source: Survey data, 2012, Hameso, 2015 These results correspond to predictions that highland areas formerly unsuitable for malaria will become epidemic (Ermert et al, 2012). Thus increased temperature creates conducive environment for the spread of Anopheles mosquitoes and Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria (Gage et al, 2008). 1 While some indicators of climate change are commonly perceived in all agroecological sites, respondents in some areas reported facing distinctive climatic challenges.…”

Reference:Hameso, Seyoum (2017) The study forms part of the broader research project into actual and perceived climate change that included climate data (see Hameso, 2015) and book chapter on farmers perceptions about climate change (Hameso, 2014) but this paper reports on and compares climate change as perceived by farmers and policy makers. I acknowledge comments from two anonymous reviewers.2

“…El inicio de los signos clínicos en febrero de 2008, fue un factor de riesgo tanto para dengue como para leptospirosis, lo cual puede relacionarse con los factores climáticos que se presentaron en esa época, ya que hay pruebas de que la estacionalidad y el nivel de precipitación de un área determinada afectan la disponibilidad de sitios de multiplicación para mosquitos y otros vectores que tienen estados inmaduros en el agua; este es el caso particular del dengue (22). Asimismo, en el caso de la leptospirosis también se han observado brotes relacionados con la estacionalidad o la transición de verano a invierno (23).…”

“…As a consequence, host extinctions will tend to shift the parasite biota towards a composition more dominated by ticks and viruses (and less by lice) than would otherwise be the case. This shift in composition could severely impact both host species conservation and human health, given that most emerging parasites are viruses (Woolhouse & Gowtage-Sequeria 2005) and ticks are efficient vectors of disease (Gage et al 2008). Similar consequences may be expected to occur within taxa (for example within bacteria), wherein generalist parasites, a non-random set of species within the biota, persist and specialists disappear.…”

The sixth mass coextinction: are most endangered species parasites and mutualists?

et al. 2009

The effects of species declines and extinction on biotic interactions remain poorly understood. The loss of a species is expected to result in the loss of other species that depend on it (coextinction), leading to cascading effects across trophic levels. Such effects are likely to be most severe in mutualistic and parasitic interactions. Indeed, models suggest that coextinction may be the most common form of biodiversity loss. Paradoxically, few historical or contemporary coextinction events have actually been recorded. We review the current knowledge of coextinction by: (i) considering plausible explanations for the discrepancy between predicted and observed coextinction rates; (ii) exploring the potential consequences of coextinctions; (iii) discussing the interactions and synergies between coextinction and other drivers of species loss, particularly climate change; and (iv) suggesting the way forward for understanding the phenomenon of coextinction, which may well be the most insidious threat to global biodiversity.
