Funded Activity Summary

There is no doubt that mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are sensitive to climatic conditions. However, it remains unclear how climate change will influence the distribution and incidence of MBDs. This study aims to use an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to project the impact of future climate change on the transmission of Ross River virus disease - the most common and widespread MBD in Australia, and to provide scientific evidence for developing pulbic health adaptation policies.
