GH23A:
Climate Link to Infectious Diseases: Toward Development of Successful Early Warning Systems I
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 60057
Session Description:
Climate variability such as El Nino/Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole influence the abundance of vectors that in turn affect the spread of the diseases like malaria in many parts of the world. In addition to the pathogens, survival of the host is also directly influenced by climate conditions and indirectly through the climate induced environmental conditions. Many of these climate and environmental factors are also responsible for water-borne infections like diarrhea and airborne diseases like flu. Therefore, appropriately attributing the outbreaks in infectious diseases to climatic variables and quantifying those relationships to a number of outbreaks would be important in the directions of preparing mitigation strategies. This session will discuss those mechanisms of climate-disease connections and developments of climate based early warning systems for infectious diseases. We encourage abstract submissions on the topics of climate link to infectious diseases, disease monitoring and climate-based predictions of infectious diseases.
