SUMMARY:The role of climate change in altering the risk of vector-borne di
 sease - Helena Stage (University of Potsdam)
DTSTART:20230712T110000Z

UID:TALK203134@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Ciara Dangerfield
DESCRIPTION:As climate change accelerates\, vectors of communicable diseas
 es (e.g. tiger mosquitoes transmitting dengue) may be found in greater num
 bers in European climates\, where there are currently relatively few recor
 ded incidents of autochthonous transmission. We are thus faced with a new 
 array of risks and challenges to public health prevention and treatment st
 rategies. These risks are not to be ignored\, with prior documented cases 
 of malaria outbreaks in Europe during the medieval warming period.\nIn thi
 s talk\, we will discuss these data-based and methodological challenges\, 
 and the time-scales over which risk prevention strategies can reasonably b
 e implemented.
