Environmental Change and the Evolving Distribution of Disease Vectors

Climate change is rapidly transforming the global landscape,
influencing ecosystems, biodiversity, and the spread of infectious
diseases. One of its most significant public health implications is
the altered distribution and abundance of disease vectors such as
mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies. These vectors are highly sensitive
to changes in temperature, precipitation, humidity, and habitat
availability—all factors that are shifting due to climate change.
