Understanding the emergence and subsequent spread of human infectious diseases is a critical global challenge, especially for high-impact zoonotic and vector-borne diseases. Global climate and land-use change are likely to alter host and vector distributions, but understanding the impact of these...


Redding, D.Tiedt, S.Lo Iacono, G.Bett, Bernard K.Jones, K.[Spatial, seasonal and climatic predictive models of Rift Valley fever disease across Africa]Spatial, seasonal and climatic predictive models of Rift Valley fever disease across Africa

The planet’s mean air and ocean temperatures have been rising over the last century because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. These changes have substantial effects on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. We describe direct and indirect processes linking climate change and infectious di...

Rift Valley fever is a severe disease affecting both humans and animals. The Rift Valley fever virus can be transmitted by body fluids, and the most common way for humans to get infected is from animals. The virus is also vector-borne and can be transmitted by many species of mosquitoes. As with ...

Livestock as a sector is extremely important to the global economy and to rural livelihoods. As of 2013, there was an estimated 38 billion livestock in the world, or five animals for every person. Most (81%) were in developing countries. Around one billion smallholder farmers keep livestock, many...

According to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report, changes in the climate over the last 30 years have already reduced global agricultural production by 1 – 5 % per decade relative to a baseline without climate change. In addition, recent studies indicate that even a 2 degrees increase in global tem...

Climate change has precipitated tremendous changes in the spatial distribution of multiple infectious diseases, particularly those transmitted by arthropod vectors. In this paper, we investigate the effects of global warming on the distribution of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in East Africa based on t...
