  • Title: [Climate- and vector-borne diseases].
    Author: Bygbjerg IC, Schiøler KL, Konradsen F.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2009 Oct 26; 171(44):3175-8. PubMed ID: 19857395.
    Abstract:
    The predicted changes in climate have raised concerns that vector-borne diseases may emerge or expand in tempered regions. Malaria, leishmaniasis and tick-borne illnesses are discussed in terms of climate change and their endemic potential, especially in Denmark. While climate may play an important role in disease patterns, it is evident that transmission potential is governed by a complex of factors, including socio-economy, health-care capacity and ecology. In Denmark, malaria and leishmaniasis are unlikely to become public health problems, whereas the potential for tick-borne illnesses may increase.
