Systematic Assessment of the Climate Sensitivity of Important Human and Domestic Animals Pathogens in Europe

Abstract Climate change is expected to threaten human health and well-being via its effects on climate-sensitive infectious diseases, potentially changing their spatial distributions, affecting annual/seasonal cycles, or altering disease incidence and severity. Climate sensitivity of pathogens is a...
