Climate change in the Russian Arctic is more pronounced than in any other part of the country. Between 1955 and 2000, the annual average air temperature in the Russian North increased by 1.2°C. During the same period, the mean temperature of upper layer of permafrost increased by 3°C. Climate change in Russian Arctic increases the risks of the emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases. This review presents data on morbidity rates among people, domestic animals and wildlife in the Russian Arctic, focusing on the potential climate related emergence of such diseases as tick-borne encephalitis, tularemia, brucellosis, leptospirosis, rabies, and anthrax.
俄罗斯北极地区的气候变化比该国其他任何地区都更为显著。1955年至2000年间,俄罗斯北部的年平均气温上升了1.2°C。在同一时期,永久冻土上层的平均温度上升了3°C。俄罗斯北极地区的气候变化增加了人畜共患传染病出现的风险。本综述介绍了俄罗斯北极地区人类、家畜和野生动物的发病率数据,重点关注蜱传脑炎、兔热病、布鲁氏菌病、钩端螺旋体病、狂犬病和炭疽等疾病潜在的与气候相关的出现情况。
