Altered Disease Risk from Climate Change

Author: Jonathan A. Patz

Published in: EcoHealth | Issue 3/2018

Excerpt

Climate change has the potential to reverse many of the recent gains seen in the reduction in infectious diseases globally, while exacerbating the challenge of health inequities (Woodward et al. 2014). …
