SUMMARY:The role of climate change in altering the risk of vector-borne di
 sease - Helena Stage

CONTACT:Dr Ciara Dangerfield
DESCRIPTION: As climate change accelerates\, vectors of communicable disea
 ses (e.g. tiger mosquitoes transmitting dengue) may be found in greater nu
 mbers in European climates\, where there are currently relatively few reco
 rded incidents of autochthonous transmission. We are thus faced with a new
  array of risks and challenges to public health prevention and treatment s
 trategies. These risks are not to be ignored\, with prior documented cases
  of malaria outbreaks in Europe during the medieval warming period.\nIn th
 is talk\, we will discuss these data-based and methodological challenges\,
  and the time-scales over which risk prevention strategies can reasonably 
 be implemented.
