Climate change: A driver of increasing vector-borne disease transmission in non-endemic areas
Shlomit Paz
Abstract
Climate change can affect human health in complex ways, both directly (e.g., exposure to extreme temperatures) and indirectly (e.g., changes in infectious disease ecology), compounded by a multiplicity of biological, ecological, and socioeconomic factors.
