| Abstract | (Summary)
Climate change is affecting the risk from infectious diseases. There is evidence that the recent emergence of Lyme disease in Canada has been driven by climate warming, making more
of Canada suitable for the ticks that carry the disease. Emergence of other insect-borne diseases, such as eastern equine encephalitis, could have been facilitated by a warming climate, and epidemics of West Nile virus infection have likely been
driven by variability in weather and climate, which will increase with climate change. The risk from a very wide range of other infectious diseases is also known to be sensitive to weather and climate. Changes to geographic and seasonal patterns of
these diseases in North America, and increased risk of importation of climate-sensitive diseases from further afield, are likely to pose increased risks to Canadians in coming decades. Adaptation measures include assessments of risk and
vulnerability, integrated surveillance and early warning systems using emerging technologies, and a 'One Health' approach that integrates human, animal, and environmental health. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This chapter examines the impacts of climate change on risks from infectious diseases of importance for public health in Canada, including known disease
risks and those that may emerge. |
