Global climate change and increased climate variability are particularly likely to affect vector and vector-borne parasitic diseases. Climate change will affect the distribution and incidence of vector-borne parasitic diseases globally. Climate change, particularly global warming, is already altering habitat quality, species distributions, biodiversity and many essential ecosystem services. Arthropods are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and precipitation as they cannot regulate their own internal temperatures and are therefore critically dependent on climate for survival and development. | Implications of climate change on vector and vector-borne parasitic diseases: A bird’s eye view
