The Effect of Climate Change on Mosquito Vector and Arbovirus Dynamics in Distinct Locations of South America, Africa, and Asia
v, 33 p. There are numerous mosquito vectors of pathogens on every continent except for Antarctica. All of these vectors and pathogens exhibit temperature dependent life cycles. Studies have shown that as temperatures rise the reproductive/replicative rates of mosquitoes and pathogens decrease in ti...

Climate change is the direct cause of global temperature rise, therefore, it is a driver of the global threat from arthropod borne diseases.
