The interaction between hosts and pathogens in high northern latitudes is not very well understood with respect to intra-annual cycles seasons . The annual cycles of interacting pathogen and host biology is regulated in part by highly synchronized temperature and photoperiod changes during seasonal transitions . freezeup and breakup . With a warming climate only one of these key biological cues will undergo drastic changes while the other will remain fixed. This uncoupling can theoretically have drastic consequences on host-pathogen interactions. These poorly understood cues together with a changing climate by itself will challenge host populations that are adapted to pathogens under the historic and current climate regime. We will review adaptations of both host and pathogens to the extreme conditions at high latitudes and explore some potential consequences of rapid changes in the Arctic. Introduction We review the current knowledge on arctic mammalian hosts pathogens and climate change from the epidemiologic triad perspective Host - Pathogen - Environment . These complex interactions require better understanding to develop conceptual models and possible predictive mechanisms that impact wildlife and public health zoonoses management for a changing arctic environment. Temperature and photoperiod changes are major cues regulating extreme biological changes during the annual cycle for many arctic resident mammals most notably at seasonal transitions during spring and
