Chapter 12 Early warning systems for vector-borne diseases: engagement, methods and implementation
Emilie Finch et al. – Planetary health approaches to understand and control vector-borne diseases| Chapter 12, 17 May 2023
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause over 700,000 deaths yearly, worsened by climate change and urbanization. Climate-informed early warning systems (EWS) use climate data to predict outbreaks, enabling faster public health responses. Despite their success in disaster risk reduction, EWS are underused in health, with few operational tools available.
