Abstract
Climate change has significant implications for the distribution and transmission of vector-borne diseases, posing a growing threat to global public health. This review provides an overview of the current evidence linking climate change to the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease. It discusses the complex interactions between climate variables, vector populations, and disease transmission dynamics, as well as the potential geographic expansion of disease vectors due to climate change. Additionally, the review explores adaptation strategies and public health interventions to mitigate the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases.
