| Description: |
The importance of climatic factors (temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and winds) as drivers in West Nile Virus (WNV) epidemiology is increasing under conditions of climate change. Indeed, recent changes in climatic conditions contributed to the maintenance (endemization process) of WNV in various locations around the world. For better preparedness, any assessment of future transmission of WNV should take into consideration the impacts of climate change.
