Climate change is a critical driver in the outbreaks of vector-borne infectious diseases worldwide. Arbovirus vectors, namely, mosquitoes, exhibit strong and nonlinear responses to climatic factors, such as temperature driving changes in infectious disease dynamics. In this review, we highlight key climate change factors that can affect arboviruses and their mosquito vectors across multiple biological levels, emphasizing the consequences for the transmission and spread of viruses impacting human hosts. We examine the complex interplay between environmental changes and vector biology, including life history traits, vector competence, and species interactions. We characterize vector ecology across scales critical for our understanding of forecasting the impacts of climate change on mosquito-borne viruses, predicting disease outbreaks and developing effective control measures.
气候变化是全球媒介传播传染病暴发的关键驱动因素。虫媒病毒的传播媒介,即蚊子,对气候因素表现出强烈的非线性反应,例如温度变化会推动传染病动态变化。在本综述中,我们重点介绍了可在多个生物学层面影响虫媒病毒及其蚊子传播媒介的关键气候变化因素,强调了对影响人类宿主的病毒传播和扩散的后果。我们研究了环境变化与媒介生物学之间的复杂相互作用,包括生活史特征、媒介能力和物种相互作用。我们描述了不同尺度上的媒介生态学,这对于我们理解预测气候变化对蚊媒病毒的影响、预测疾病暴发以及制定有效控制措施至关重要。
