Understanding the Effect of a Changing Climate on the Re‐Emergence of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases in Vulnerable Small Island Nations: A Systematic Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 223-247, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Drastic changes in meteorological variables due to climate change will likely have an implication on the proliferation of vectors such as mosquitoes. Extreme weather events may therefore promote the emergence/re‐emergence of mosquito‐borne diseases (MBDs) and potentiate the risk of endemicity, particularly, in small island nations.
