Assessment of Global Climate Variability and Hydroclimatological Processes on Infectious Diseases

Session ID#: 75897

Session Description:
Multiple environmental pathways have emerged from the climatic variability and extreme weather events, which have affected the state of well-being of human health. These phenomena have affected the spatiotemporal distribution of vector-borne diseases (Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria and others), water borne-diseases (Cholera, Dysentery, Typhoid and others) and air-borne diseases (Influenza and others) through the influence on vectors by making the hosts more susceptible to diseases- ultimately leading to conditions of trigger and transmission of infections in the human population. Remote sensing and station based hydroclimatic data can be used as an early indicator to mitigate the adverse impact of these outbreaks on human health.

This session will provide a platform to discuss the impacts of enhanced climatic variability on the spatiotemporal movement of diseases and the development of early warning systems. We encourage abstract submissions on the topics of climate-linked to diseases, disease monitoring and climate-based predictions of diseases.
