Mosquito-borne diseases are expanding their range, and re-emerging in areas where they had subsided for decades. The extent to which climate change influences the transmission suitability and population at risk of mosquito-borne diseases across different altitudes and population densities has not be...en investigated. The aim of this study was to quantify the extent to which climate change will influence the length of the transmission season and estimate the population at risk of mosquito-borne diseases in the future, given different population densities across an altitudinal gradient.

Das neuartige Coronavirus, das zürst Anfang des Jahres in der chinesischen Metropole Wuhan ausgebrochen ist, hat bisher mehr als 1.500 Menschen das Leben gekostet, Zigtausende haben sich infiziert. Die Auswirkungen dieser neuen Form einer Lungenentzündung werden noch verheerender, sollte sich das ...Virus in Entwicklungsländern verbreiten, deren Gesundheitssysteme besonders schwach sind. Zwei Drittel aller neuen Infektionskrankheiten weltweit stammen wie auch das aktuelle Coronavirus „Covid-19“ von Tieren. Mehr und mehr setzt sich in der Fachwelt die Erkenntnis durch, dass man für eine effiziente und wirksame Bekämpfung dieser vom Tier auf den Menschen übertragenen Krankheiten einen viel breiteren Ansatz benötigt, der unter dem Begriff „One Health“ zusammengefasst wird.

A summary of health effects, resources, and adaptation examples from health departments funded by CDC’s Climate and Health Program
Disease outbreak news, 21 November 2019
This learning report attempts to understand the drivers for, and barriers to, effective implementation as well as review the experiences of Start Fund members in responding to these outbreaks to support evidence-based decision-making within the Start Network at project, crisis, and system level. Spe...cifically, it analyses the effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of Start Fund disease outbreak responses by reviewing and analysing funding, decision-making and response activities before ultimately exploring implications and recommendations.

As the nation’s public health leader, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is actively engaged in a national effort to protect the public’s health from the harmful effects of climate change. Scientists from CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NC...EZID) are at the forefront of many of these efforts. This report highlights some of that work and also looks ahead to the important work yet to come.
