Climate change is leading to a change in the behavior of two species of malaria vectors in Peru, a study has found.

Using data on sea temperature and vegetation a new climate model can predict dengue outbreaks many weeks in advance.

Poor countries need to improve their surveillance and research capacity to reduce the damage climate change will do to health, says a report.

The assumption that climate change will inevitably increase infectious diseases is "one-tailed", argues an ecologist.

Scientists have quantified the link between El Niño and malaria rates in Colombia, and say seasonal malaria forecasts are a possibility.

An insect expert says that climate change could reduce malaria cases in high-risk areas — while cooler areas could be severely hit.

A new mapping tool could be used to determine where dengue-carrying mosquitoes will spread in the developing world as the climate changes.

The damage caused by climate change will greatly depend on how sustainable development policies are designed, a study has found.

Scientists' predictions that malaria would worsen on Bolivia's altiplano may be coming true.

The WHO has developed a research agenda to better understand the human health impacts of climate change.

Scientists predict that China's warming climate could put a large additional area at risk from schistosomiasis by 2050.

Findings that cholera outbreaks in Africa occur with increased rainfall could be used to develop an early warning system, say scientists.

We need to understand how climate change will affect the spread of disease and illness as a matter of urgency, say scientists.

Higher temperatures due to global warming could increase schistosomiasis infection in China, researchers say.

Researchers say that a warmer, wetter climate in Central Asia could increase the local risk of plague, the cause of the 14th century's Black Death epidemic.

Rising temperatures could explain why malaria is on the increase in the highlands of East Africa, say researchers.

Climate models can be used to predict malaria epidemics up to five months in advance, say researchers.

Climate change could increase the risk of infectious diseases and lead to large-scale displacement of people in the Asia-Pacific region, says a report.

A study of Bangladeshi medical records suggests that climate change could, by causing floods or drought, increase outbreaks and the spread of cholera.

Resurgences of malaria in East Africa are linked to rising temperatures over the past few decades, according to a new analysis.
