Abstract

Changing climate is not the only driver for alterations in the dynamic interaction between arthropod vectors of zoonotic parasites and their hosts, including humans. A suite of other factors ranging from urbanization and deforestation to changing demographics in both developing and developed countries, the impact of the recent economic crisis, increased global movement of people and animals and follow-on effects of major catastrophes. This article reviews the most important vector-borne parasites of zoonotic concern that are changing/expanding their distribution patterns in both endemic and/or previously non-endemic areas. We include the discussion of the changing aspects of malaria, leishmaniasis, babesiosis, Chagas disease as well as of some spirurid and filarioid nematodes.

Climate changes related to global warming are most likely implicated in the emergence/re-emergence of canine heartworm disease in Portugal.
“Reasons for the emergence/re-emergence of canine heartworm disease in Portugal are still unclear, but climate changes related to global warming are most likely implicated (Casimiro et al., 2006) as well as globalization that has led to an increased movement of pets (Colwell et al., 2011).”

Most vector-borne diseases, including bacterial and viral, are zoonotic.
“Their interest and importance are increased by the fact that most vector-borne diseases, including bacterial and viral, are zoonotic diseases [2].”

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.
