Abstract

Purpose of review: The climate change (CC) or global warming (GW) modifies environment that favors vectors' abundance, growth, and reproduction, and consequently, the rate of development of pathogens within the vectors. This review highlights the threats of GW-induced vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in Southern Europe (SE) and the need for mitigation efforts to prevent potential global health catastrophe.

Recent findings: Reports showed astronomical surges in the incidences of CC-induced VBDs in the SE. The recently (2022) reported first cases of African swine fever in Northern Italy and West Nile fever in SE are linked to the CC-modified environmental conditions that support vectors and pathogens' growth and development, and disease transmission.

Summary: VBDs endemic to the tropics are increasingly becoming a major health challenge in the SE, a temperate region, due to the favorable environmental conditions caused by CC/GW that support vectors and pathogens' biology in the previously non-endemic temperate regions.

全球变暖与病媒传染疾病的多部门视角：聚焦南欧。

审查目的：气候变化（CC）或全球变暖（GW）改变了有利于病媒大量存在、生长和繁殖的环境，从而改变了病媒体内病原体的发展速度。本综述强调了南欧（SE）由全球变暖引发的病媒传染病（VBDs）的威胁，以及为防止潜在的全球健康灾难而采取减缓措施的必要性：报告显示，南欧由 CC 引起的病媒传染病发病率急剧上升。最近（2022年）在意大利北部报告的首例非洲猪瘟病例和在东南欧报告的首例西尼罗河热病例与CC改变的环境条件有关，CC改变的环境条件支持了病媒和病原体的生长和发育以及疾病的传播。

期刊介绍： Current Tropical Medicine Reports provides expert views on recent advances in the field of tropical medicine in a clear and readable form. This journal offers reviews by domestic and international contributors that highlight the most important, recent papers and findings related to this specific field. We accomplish this by appointing renowned leaders in major tropical medicine subject areas to select topics addressing virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine for review by experts who assess the latest developments and highlight significant papers published over the last few years on their topics. These review articles also stress recently published papers of importance in the references, which are accompanied by annotations explaining their importance. In addition to these Section Editors, our international Editorial Board ensures our journal upholds its standards.
