Abstract:
This research examined trends in gastrointestinal infections in tropical and subtropical regions over an 11-year period in Queensland. Higher rates were confirmed of Campylobacter and Salmonella GI infections in tropical than in temperate regions with rates increasing over time in both regions and an increased relative risk when the mean daily temperature exceeded temperature thresholds. The increased risk continued for up to 5 days after the index "heat" day, but the maximum effect was observed two days after the heat event. However, a significant association between heatwaves and GI infectio

Abstract:
A great number of studies have documented that there is a clear increasing trend in the global average temperature during the last century. Based on the scenario of business-as-usual, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that the global surface average temperature will exceed 4 °C by the end of 2100 compared to that in 1850-1890. Climate change has been regarded as the biggest global-health threat of the 21st century.

Abstract:
Climate-sensitive infectious diseases such as hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) are expected to increase with the changing climate, leading to a greater burden on population health. The extent to which the changes in climate can or will affect population health varies across regions, depending on specific climate characteristics and variability, and on the specific socio-economic and health infrastructure of each region. Hence, local regional-specific climate change adaptation measures needed to be based on an understanding of the health impacts at the regional level. This is particularly relevan

A slight change in temperature can drastically affect the lifespan and patterns of mosquitoes, and moreover, the protozoan itself can only survive in a certain temperature range. With higher temperatures, mosquitoes can mature faster, and thus have more time to spread the disease. The malaria parasite also matures more quickly at warmer temperatures.

Abstract:
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for transmission of four vector-borne diseases that cause considerable global morbidity and mortality. Projections of the future effects of global climate change indicate that expansion of this species due to changing habitats is possible. Furthermore, since A. aegypti is highly dependent on human populations for feeding and egg-laying sites, changing human population characteristics are likely to alter the risk of exposure for humans based on geographic location.

Abstract:
Climate change is expected to impact species by altering infectious disease outcomes, modifying community composition, and causing species to shift their phenology, body sizes and range distributions. However, the outcomes of these impacts are often controversial; for example, scientists have debated whether climate change will exacerbate emerging infectious disease and which species are at greatest risk to advance their phenology. There reason for these controversies may be that climate change is impacting diverse processes across a wide range of ecological scales, as the interplay between fi

Lyme disease is one of the most common infectious diseases present in the United States today and it is clear that the changing climate will affect the geographical range of it across the country.

Although I could not successfully map the possible spread of tick populations or Lyme disease incidence as a result of climate change, my research shows a direct connection between infected tick geographic distribution and key climatic variables, such as temperature, humidity, and

Abstract:
Seasonality, or a cycling of high and low incidence, of infectious diseases has long been recognized but remains little understood. For many diseases, even major ones such as influenza, our knowledge of the seasonal drivers is very limited. One proposed driver of seasonality for many diseases is weather, especially temperature and humidity. I studied how likely an admission to a hospital was to be diagnosed with a UTI or pneumonia caused by Legionella across the US under various climates and weather conditions. I found that patients were 10–20% more likely to have a UTI when the monthly mean t

Recently, both the density and spread of I. ricinus ticks have grown across much of Europe, including Scotland, increasing disease risk.

Introduction: The Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for the transmission of Yellow Fever, Dengue, Chikungunya and Zikavirus, making it a deadly vector and global public health threat.

This means that the pathogens have now entered areas in which the population has no previous immunity, which can lead to extensive outbreaks and epidemics.
