“…El Niño and La Niña correspond to the two opposite phases of the coupled ocean/atmosphere phenomenon called El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) [ 4 ]. ENSO has a planetary impact [ 5 ] increased by global warming in terms of frequency and intensity [ 6 ]. This phenomenon, a source of origin of specific natural disasters, has already given rise to situations of humanitarian and health crises (e.g., in Haiti, Japan, and so forth).…”

“…The direct consequence will be increased health risks with greater vulnerability and insecurity of the population’s water and food access, as well as a modified distribution of pathogens and associated vectors. These risks will be exacerbated with an increased frequency of extreme climatic events and would be compounded by increased migration phenomena and changes in agricultural production, ultimately resulting in a risk of undernutrition and civil disruption for a large part of the world population [ 5 , 9 , 10 ].…”

In recent decades, climate change has been responsible for an increase in the average temperature of the troposphere and of the oceans, with consequences on the frequency and intensity of many extreme weather phenomena. Climate change’s effects on natural disasters can be expected to induce a rise in humanitarian crises. In addition, it will surely impact the population’s long-term general health, especially among the most fragile. There are foreseeable health risks that both ambulatory care organizations and hospitals will face as global temperatures rise. These risks include the geographic redistribution of infectious (particularly zoonotic) diseases, an increase in cardiac and respiratory illnesses, as well as a host of other health hazards. Some of these risks have been detailed for most developed countries as well as for some developing countries. Using these existing risk assessments as a template, organizational innovations as well as implementation strategies should be proposed to mitigate the disruptive effects of these health risks on emergency departments and by extension, reduce the negative impact of climate change on the populations they serve.

“…Mapping risks is therefore an essential step in setting up procedures for managing foreseeable health crises with the aim of reducing their frequency and impact on the population. 4 However, to facilitate disease control, it is often important to understand the spatial distribution of pathogens and their vectors.…”

Buruli Ulcer (BU) is an infectious disease caused by a pathogen, Mycobacterium ulcerans. This mycobacterium is responsible for severe necrosis of subcutaneous tissue leading to chronic ulcers and wounds. However, the distribution of potential reservoirs of this mycobacterium, which is necessary for an effective dynamics control, remains poorly known in Benin. This study aims to model the spread of BU infection risk in Benin. The methodological approach focused on data collection, processing and analysis. Indeed, two data sources were used in the MaxEnt (Maximum Entropy) software to model the spatial distribution of some families of Mycobacterium ulcerans vectors. These are present and future bioclimatic data (scenarios rcp 45 and rcp 85) downloaded from http://webfiles.york.ac.uk/KITE/AfriClim/ and occurrences (234) of the disease from fieldwork and literature. Potential vectors inventoried in the field are aquatic bugs of the family Belostomatidae and Naucoridae and worms whose taxa were not specified. The areas at risk of this disease in the present as well as in the future, globally include the South to the Center Benin and parts of the North-West and North-East of the country. The various results obtained are valuable for prevention and better management of patients. To this end, it will be necessary to focus attention and strengthen control interventions in areas at present and future risk of the disease.
