A clear and timely overview of how global climate shifts are reshaping the spread, intensity, and impact of major vector-borne diseases.The Changing Trends of Vector-Borne Diseases to Climate Change explains how rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, humidity levels, and global movement accelerate mosquito and tick proliferation, expand endemic zones, and increase disease severity. Focusing on dengue and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), it also highlights clinical features, transmission pathways, prevention strategies, and the urgent need for surveillance and preparedness.
Key Features:
– Explains how climate variables drive the spread of vector-borne diseases.- Highlights major case studies, including dengue and CCHF.- Describes transmission pathways, clinical progression, and public-health risks.- Emphasizes prevention, surveillance, and global health preparedness.
