"As the global climate changes, its effects on the environment are increasingly evident. Average global temperatures are rising, precipitation patterns are shifting, and the frequency of extreme weather events is growing, with impacts on the distribution and viability of all life forms. For human health, one emerging concern is that we do not fully understand how the geographic ranges of vector-borne diseases-those caused by parasites, bacteria, and viruses transmitted to humans via an intermediate host organism-are being influenced by climate change. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), major vector-borne diseases account for about 17 percent of all infectious diseases and lead to 700,000 deaths per year."
