  • Title: [Climate change influences the incidence of arthropod-borne diseases in the Netherlands].
    Author: Rahamat-Langendoen JC, van Vliet JA, Reusken CB.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2008 Apr 12; 152(15):863-8. PubMed ID: 18512525.
    Abstract:
    Climate change is associated with changes in the occurrence of arthropod-borne diseases. It is difficult to foresee which arthropod-borne diseases will appear in the Netherlands due to climate change. Climate change influences the prevalence of ticks and may lead to a further increase in Lyme disease and an increased risk of the introduction of rickettsioses. With further warming of the climate there is a real possibility of settlement of the mosquito Aedes albopictus and introduction of the sandfly in the Netherlands. Whether this will lead to circulation of micro-organisms transmitted by these vectors (e.g. West Nile virus, Dengue virus, Leishmania) is not clear. Continued vigilance is necessary, even for vector-borne diseases that appear to be less relevant for the Netherlands.
