Climate change, the associated extreme events and rising temperatures entail multiple health risks for animals and humans. This is causing evident risks of cardiovascular diseases. However, at the same time it also leads to a noticeable increase of the case numbers and threads due to vector-mediated infectious deseases.

The present talk will highlight this risk based on case studies on moscitos and ticks. It will elucidate how the species distribution is changing, how this im impacting the occurrance of vector mediated deseases, and what might be coming up to the local communities.
