Climate Change and Zoonotic Disease Risks The analysis shows that stable temperatures favor the sylvatic cycle (i.e. the circulation of the parasite in animal reservoirs), while extreme climate events (such as El Niño) disrupt hunting patterns and favor parasite spillover to humans. ...
Image:Climate change means that the atmosphere can hold more water, likely increasing the intensity of rain events such as the recent one on Australia 'Adapt or die' The IPCC warns that adaptation hasn't kept pace with change, and vulnerab...
at certain places, particularly vulnerable to changes (e.g. in zones of ecological transition in the environmental conditions or ecotones). However, more information is required and necessary for zoonoses, especially those that are important in different regions in the World, such as Leishmaniasis,...
18 Concurrently, the consequences of climate change, such as rising water temperatures and drivers of zoonotic disease, are also directly and indirectly affecting AMR. Climate change (that is, warming) is associated with increased transmission of new and reemerging pathogens like carbapenem-resistant ...
Climate change has an impact on urbanization mainly through global or regional warming, sea-level rise, extreme events, and shortages in water resources. The impact is manifested mainly by changes in energy consumption, health and infectious disease transmission, security issues relating to coastal ...
Deforestation, which accelerates climate change, also increases the risk of zoonotic diseases—of which SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, is just one lethal example.3 Inequality. Racial and ethnic minorities, low-income communities, and less-developed c...
Other companies are harnessing CRISPR to developcorn with shorter, stronger stalksthat could reduce the loss of crops to increasingly powerful storms; novelcover cropsthat can help sequester more carbon dioxide and produce biofuels; and animals that could resist zoonotic disease...
Outbreaks of polycystic echicnococcosis, a life-threatening zoonotic disease, are driven by regional climate changes, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by "la Caixa" Foundation. The
Figure 1. Annual publications on climate change and VBDs. Articles identified by searching the Web of Science with the combination of the following key words: “climate change” and “vector-borne disease”; counts as of 11 August 2022. The influence of climate factors on the transmission and...
In some cases, this will facilitate zoonotic spillover—a mechanistic link between global environmental change and disease emergence. Here we simulate potential hotspots of future viral sharing, using a phylogeographical model of the mammal–virus network, and projections of geographical range shifts ...
