Abstract

With the progressive intensification of the global climate crisis, the associated public health implications are becoming more pronounced and measurable. Among the most concerning effects is the profound influence of climate change on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Once-considered tropical illnesses are now emerging in temperate zones, and long-standing public health efforts risk being undermined by shifting ecological dynamics.
