Climate Change Drives the Transmission and Spread of Vector-Borne Diseases: An Ecological Perspective

Abstract: Climate change affects ecosystems and human health in multiple dimensions. With the acceleration of climate change, climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases (VBDs) pose an increasing threat to public health. This paper summaries 10 publications on the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and human health; then it synthesizes the other existing literature to more broadly explain how climate change drives the transmission and spread of VBDs through an ecological perspective. We highlight the multi-dimensional … Show more

“…Moreover, the global analysis depicted the relationship between monthly mean temperature and CL incidence with a 2-month lag for the five municipalities. Results indicate a specific temperature range, approximately between 24 °C and 28 °C, that relates with increased number of cases, as observed for other vector-borne diseases [ 67 ].…”

“…Notably, this investigation used climate values from the month of August, the peak month of reported LACV-ND in the region, to compare late summer temperature and precipitation throughout the study area. Climate in earlier months likely plays an important role in subsequent LACV transmission by effecting the population and survival sizes of vectors and wildlife hosts [ 74 ]. Further research that investigates climate-driven LACV maintenance and transmission throughout the study area would provide a better understanding of the role that climate plays in LACV-ND risk, and long-term LACV surveillance of vectors and wildlife hosts would be especially useful for developing time series models to assess the utility of climatic predictors from different points of the year for forecasting local transmission risk.…”

“…Arthropods are affected by external temperature, on which their survival, feeding and reproduction depend (6)(7)(8). The alternation of rain and drought, as well as extreme events, favours the development of stagnant water points, and therefore the reproduction of mosquitoes (9,10). Viral replication within the arthropod vector also depends on the external temperature.…”

“…Viral replication within the arthropod vector also depends on the external temperature. Ultimately, the interaction between the vector and the virus results in a bell-shaped temperature response with an optimum, a lower threshold and a higher threshold (10)(11)(12)(13).…”
