Abstract

Globally, air temperature rose by 0.74 °C between 1906 and 2005 and is projected to rise up to 6.4 °C by 2099, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2007). Climate warming can affect the distribution and the intensity of parasitic diseases that are carried by insects and animals (vector-borne diseases).
