| Description: |
The evidence that climate change is driving changing epidemiology is far from clear and often contradictory. Probably the clearest evidence comes from increased disease incidences seen in the aftermath of weather-related disasters such as floods and hurricanes. Certainly the epidemiology of both malaria and dengue fever is sensitive to local climate effects. However, attempts to definitively link long-term trends in particular diseases to climate change remain problematic. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environmental Health]
