Impact of polar ice sheet destabilisation on climate and vector-borne disease risk during the 21st century
Mosquitoes, major vectors of diseases, are sensitive to rainfall which is necessary for their immature aquatic stages, and to temperature which affects their development and life cycle dynamics. Climate change can therefore impact the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, the world&...
