The potential impact of climate change on infectious diseases of Arctic fauna
Climate change is already affecting Arctic species including infectious disease agents and greater changes are expected. Some infectious diseases are already increasing but future changes are difficult to predict because of the complexity of host – agent – environment relationships. However mechanis...
