Abstract

Climate change is accelerating the global expansion of vector-borne and infectious diseases. Rising temperatures and altered precipitation are increasing the range of vectors like Aedes mosquitoes, enhancing transmission of dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya. Malaria in highlands, West Nile Virus in Europe, and leishmaniasis are also seeing shifts due to environmental changes. Tick-borne diseases are similarly impacted, altering tick distribution and pathogen cycles. This underscores a significant public health challenge, demanding integrated surveillance and control strategies to mitigate emerging threats and safeguard global health
