The Impact of Climate Change on Vector-borne Diseases in the USA

Omotosho Ajibola Adunola

Subject area: Biological & Medical Sciences  ·  Area of research: Public Health

Abstract

Climate change is significantly influencing the transmission of vector-borne diseases in the USA, posing a substantial threat to public health. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are altering the distribution, abundance, and behavior of vectors, increasing the risk of human exposure. This article reviews recent research on the impact of climate change on vector-borne disease transmission, highlighting the need for sustainable solutions to mitigate its effects. Thus, a recommendation of enhanced vector surveillance, human disease tracking, and evidence-based interventions to address the growing burden of vector-borne diseases was made. Urgent action is necessary to address the far-reaching consequences of climate change on public health.
