"Alien and Native Vectors - Risks for Human and Animal Health"
Climate change will affect the distribution and population dynamics of animal disease carriers like mosquitoes or ticks, and the pathogens that are spread by these.
For Germany, this means the risk of introductions and establishment of "exotic" arthropods with high vector competence as well as new diseases transmitted by native species which had not before played any role as disease vectors. However, the distribution of pathogens and their vectors in Germany and their public health significance have remained surprisingly poorly known.
Thus, systematic analyses of the influence of climate change on the diversity and distribution of vectors and pathogens are much needed, as are long-term surveys of species which may serve as disease vectors now or in the future.
The first outbreak of a disease transmitted by blood sucking insects in Germany since the disappearance of endemic malaria in the middle of the last century - the sudden appearance of blue-tongue disease in the summer of 2006, which is transmitted by gnats of the family Ceratopogonidae - strikingly illustrated these research and monitoring needs.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
