ImpactHigh impact

The broad focus on public health implications, vaccine advancements, and disease spread demonstrates a recognition of the substantial potential effects of climate-driven changes in helminth infections.

Abstract in brief

  • Climate change, often called global warming, is expected to influence the spread and prevalence of human helminth infections, which are parasitic worm diseases.
  • The projected impacts include changes in the habitats and transmission patterns of helminths, potentially increasing infection rates in some regions while decreasing them in others.
  • These shifts may pose new challenges for public health efforts, requiring adaptations in disease control and prevention strategies to address the evolving landscape of helminth infections due to climate change.]

@RockefellerUniv @WeillCornell 7/n I believe our vaccine for human hookworm disease, now accelerating because of climate change (hookworm larvae in the soil are very thermotolerant) could become the 2nd parasitic disease vaccine after malaria, and one of the most important. https://t.co/AIaKLv4fli
