Most vector-borne diseases exhibit a distinct seasonal pattern, which clearly suggests that they are weather sensitive. Rainfall, temperature, and other climate variables affect in many ways both the vectors and the pathogens they transmit. Likewise, climate can be determinant in outbreaks incidence. A growing number of studies have provided evidence indicating the effects of climate variability on vector-borne diseases. However, oftentimes, the different diseases and regions are not uniformly represented, scarcity or lack of publications in some countries is common. The objectives of this work were to analyze the distribution and abundance of publications on vector-borne diseases associated with climate variability in South America, identify those works that conducted a geographic analysis and detect the countries where outbreaks occurred and the climate variables with which they were associated. A systematic review of the literature published on vector-borne diseases linked to climate variability in South America was conducted, identifying, evaluating and summarizing scientific papers. The distribution of the study areas and disease type in the publications were represented on maps. Dengue and leishmaniasis were the most studied and widely represented diseases in South America. The country with the largest number of published papers and presence of all disease types was Brazil. Outbreaks of disease were related to different climate variables. Most diseases from the publications under study occurred in equatorial and tropical climates. The disease represented by the largest number of different types of climates was dengue. The technique used in this work allowed us to determine the status of knowledge of the main diseases associated with climate variability in South America. This methodology could be improved in the future by incorporating other bibliographic sources as well as other diseases related to climate variability.
大多数媒介传播疾病呈现出明显的季节性模式，这清楚地表明它们对天气敏感。降雨、温度和其他气候变量在许多方面影响着媒介以及它们传播的病原体。同样，气候在疾病暴发发生率方面可能起决定性作用。越来越多的研究提供了证据，表明气候变异性对媒介传播疾病的影响。然而，不同的疾病和地区往往没有得到统一呈现，一些国家出版物稀缺或缺乏是常见现象。这项工作的目的是分析南美洲与气候变异性相关的媒介传播疾病出版物的分布和数量，确定那些进行了地理分析的研究，检测疾病暴发发生的国家以及与之相关的气候变量。对南美洲发表的与气候变异性相关的媒介传播疾病的文献进行了系统综述，识别、评估和总结科学论文。研究区域和出版物中疾病类型的分布在地图上呈现出来。登革热和利什曼病是南美洲研究最多、代表性最广的疾病。发表论文数量最多且存在所有疾病类型的国家是巴西。疾病暴发与不同的气候变量有关。所研究出版物中的大多数疾病发生在赤道和热带气候地区。涉及不同气候类型数量最多的疾病是登革热。这项工作中使用的技术使我们能够确定南美洲与气候变异性相关的主要疾病的知识现状。未来可以通过纳入其他文献来源以及与气候变异性相关的其他疾病来改进这种方法。
