Impact of climate change on vector- and rodent-borne infectious diseases [PDF]

Journal of Health Monitoring, 2023
Background: Endemic and imported vector- and rodent-borne infectious agents can be linked to high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, vector- and rodent-borne human diseases and the effects of climate change are important public health issues.
