We reviewed the literature on role of temperature in transmission zoonotic arboviruses. Vector competence is affected by both direct and indirect effects temperature, generally increases with increasing but results may vary vector species, population, viral strain. Temperature additionally has a significant influence life history traits vectors at immature adult stages, for important behaviors such as blood-feeding mating. Similar to competence, can species population. Vector, host, distributions are all expected change increased temperatures predicted under climate change. Arboviruses shift poleward higher elevations change, yet variability fine geographic scales likely. unimodal, abundance up an optimum, then decreases high temperatures. Improved distribution information could facilitate future modeling. A wide variety approaches have been used model distributions, although most research focused West Nile virus.

Human health is linked to climatic factors in complex ways, and climate change can have profound direct indirect impacts on the status of any given region. Susceptibility modulated by biological, ecological socio-political such as age, gender, geographic location, socio-economic status, occupation, housing conditions, among other. In Eastern Mediterranean Middle East (EMME), known affect human include extreme heat, water shortages air pollution. Furthermore, epidemiology vector-borne diseases (VBDs) consequences population displacement are also influenced this To inform future policies for adaptation mitigation measures, based an extensive review available knowledge, we recommend several research priorities These generation more empirical evidence exposure-response functions involving specific outcomes, development appropriate methodologies evaluate physical psychological effects vulnerable populations, determining how alters determinants health, improving our understanding long-term exposure heat stress pollution, evaluating interactions between strategies.

Abstract Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease and has become a major public health threat, particularly for tropical subtropical countries including Bangladesh. This comprehensive review aims to summarize overall scenario of dengue, burden, clinical spectrum, seroprevalence, circulating serotypes/genotypes, spatial distribution since first recorded outbreak in Since 2000, dengue epidemiology shown typical epidemic pattern with more frequent bigger outbreaks gradual geographic expansion non-endemic regions For instance, highly confined Rohingya refugee camps that provide shelters nearly 1.2 million forcibly displaced vulnerable Myanmar nationals Cox’s Bazar district confronted massive 2022.

Vector-borne diseases cause significant financial and human loss, with billions of dollars spent on control. Arthropod vectors experience a complex suite environmental factors that affect fitness, population growth species interactions across multiple spatial temporal scales. Temperature water availability are two the most important abiotic variables influencing their distributions abundances. While extensive research temperature exists, influence humidity vector pathogen parameters affecting disease dynamics less understood. Humidity is often underemphasized, when considered, treated as independent even though desiccation likely contributes to declines in trait performance at warmer temperatures.

Abstract West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging mosquito-borne pathogen in Europe where it represents a new public health threat. While climate change has been cited as potential driver of its spatial expansion on the continent, formal evaluation this causal relationship lacking. Here, we investigate extent to which WNV can be attributed while accounting for other direct human influences such land-use and population changes. To end, trained ecological niche models predict risk local circulation leading cases then unravel isolated effect by comparing factual simulations counterfactual based same environmental changes but long-term trends have removed. Our findings demonstrate notable increase area ecologically suitable during period 1901–2019, whereas remains largely unchanged no-climate-change counterfactual.

However, recent outbreaks emerging diseases (EIDs) caused substantial morbidity, frequency these is likely increase due pathogen, environmental, population effects driven by climate change. Extreme or persistent changes temperature, precipitation, humidity, air pollution associated with change can, for example, expand size EID reservoirs, host-pathogen cross-species host contacts promote transmission spillover events, degrade overall susceptible populations leading new outbreaks. It therefore vital establish global strategies track model potential responses candidate EIDs project their future behaviour guide research efforts on early detection diagnosis technologies vaccine development targets.
