Climate change, as currently observed through the global warming phenomenon, is exerting a profound influence on life, and therefore on infectious diseases, by changing their geographic distribution, demographic data, as well as vector conditions[...]It is time, therefore, to consider new solutions at the global level – at country, continent, and planetary levels. Infectious diseases in modern times can only be comprehended as a science with a new approach acknowledging the environment as one of the important players in the field; hospital and public health, geographical, societal and political strategies have to be included in eradication strategies.[7]
