Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Infectious Diseases, 3e AB - The release of greenhouse gases—principally carbon dioxide—into Earth’s atmosphere since the late nineteenth century has contributed to a climate unfamiliar to our species, Homo sapiens. This new climate has already altered the epidemiology of some infectious diseases. Continued accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will further alter the planet’s climate. In some cases climate change may establish conditions favoring the emergence of infectious diseases, while in others it may render areas that are presently suitable for certain diseases unsuitable. This chapter presents the current state of knowledge regarding the known and prospective infectious-disease consequences of climate change.
