How will global climate change affect parasite-host assemblages?

Brooks, Daniel R., Hoberg, Eric P.·2007·Trends in Parasitology

Abstract

Parasites are integral components of the biosphere. Host switching correlated with events of episodic climate change is ubiquitous in evolutionary and ecological time. Global climate change produces ecological perturbations, which cause geographical and phenological shifts, and alteration in the dynamics of parasite transmission, increasing the potential for host switching. The intersection of climate change with evolutionary conservative aspects of host specificity and transmission dynamics, called ecological fitting, permits emergence of parasites and diseases without evolutionary changes in their capacity for host utilization.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Global warming affects host-parasite systems by influencing the amplification and emergence of parasite populations, inducing changes in development and survival rates of both parasite and vector, and altering seasonal transmission dynamics.

    “Global warming affects host-parasite systems by influencing the amplification and emergence of parasite populations, inducing changes in the development and survival rates of both parasite and vector and altering seasonal transmission dynamics (Brooks and Hoberg, 2007).”
  • More optimal conditions created by temperature increases allow the spread of mosquitoes to other areas where previously climatic conditions prevented their presence.

    “This has led to the creation of more optimal conditions that allow the spread of mosquitoes to other areas where previously the climatic conditions prevented their presence [1,55,78,166,167].”
  • Global warming affects host-parasite systems by influencing amplification and emergence of parasite populations, inducing changes in development and survival rates of both parasites and vectors, and altering seasonal transmission dynamics.

    “Global warming affects host-parasite systems by influencing the amplification and emergence of parasite populations, inducing changes in the development and survival rates of both parasites and vectors, and altering seasonal transmission dynamics (68).”
  • With respect to dirofilariasis, climate change is lengthening annual periods of mosquito activity, shortening larval development periods, and increasing transmission in many geographical regions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
