Not exact matches

The Vector - Borne Disease Research Transparency and Accountability Act of 2014 would form working groups on at least two high - incidence diseases to develop a scientific framework on how to move forward to fill gaps in research and patient care.

The high diversity of mosquitoes in central Panama where more than 250 species have been reported, may make it difficult to control incoming diseases by controlling the mosquito vectors.»

Though Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector - borne illness in the U.S., current laboratory tests aren't sensitive enough to detect infection with high accuracy in the first few weeks of Illness.

AAV gene therapy vectors are emerging as the gene transfer vehicle with high potential for use in the CNS as they transduce post mitotic cells that mediate the sustained, long term gene expression required in chronic progressive diseases.

High throughput sequencing has accelerated the determination of genome sequences for thousands of human infectious disease pathogens and dozens of their vectors.

• increases in malnutrition and consequent disorders, with implications for child growth and development; • increased deaths, disease and injury due to heat waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts; • the increased burden of diarrheal disease; • the increased frequency of cardio - respiratory diseases due to higher concentrations of ground - level ozone related to climate change; and, • the altered spatial distribution of some infectious disease vectors.

-- Climate impacts: global temperatures, ice cap melting, ocean currents, ENSO, volcanic impacts, tipping points, severe weather events — Environment impacts: ecosystem changes, disease vectors, coastal flooding, marine ecosystem, agricultural system — Government actions: US political views, world - wide political views, carbon tax / cap - and - trade restrictions, state and city efforts — Reducing GHGs: + electric power systems: fossil fuel use, conservation, solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear, tidal, other + transportation sector: conservation, mass transit, high speed rail, air travel, auto / truck (mileage issues, PHEVs, EVs, biofuels, hydrogen) + architectural structure design: home / office energy use, home / office conservation, passive solar, other

Positive effects will include modest improvements in cold - related mortality and morbidity in some areas due to fewer cold extremes, shifts in food production, and reduced capacity of disease - carrying vectors (medium confidence), but globally, positive inlpacts will be outweighed by the magnitude and severity of negative impacts (high confidence).

Rising temperatures lead to an increase in vector - borne and water - borne diseases (due to more transmission occurring in higher rainfall and increased reproduction of vectors in warmer conditions).

More specifically, changes in our climate may affect severe weather events, agricultural productivity, risk of vector - borne infectious diseases, and extinctions of higher level species due to loss of habitat.

The most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states with «very high confidence» that «the health of human populations is sensitive to shifts in weather patterns and other aspects of climate change» due to direct effects — such as changes in temperature and precipitation or occurrence of heat waves, floods, droughts, and fires — as well as indirect effects — through crop failures, shifting patterns of disease vectors, or displacement of populations.

That's why I used the expression «represents a serious potential threat to humanity and our environment» (temperature increase by 2100 of up to 6.4 C, increased droughts, floods, tropical cyclones, heat waves, extreme high sea level plus secondary effects, such as crop failures, spread of vector diseases, loss of drinking water from melting glaciers, etc. all as listed in IPCC AR4).

Which forms the basis for the IPCC claim of high climate sensitivity (mean value of 3.2 C), resulting in significant global warming (up to 6.4 C warming by 2100), «extreme high sea levels», increased «heat waves», increased «heavy rains» and floods, increased «droughts», increased «intense tropical cyclones» — which, in turn, lead to crop failures, disappearance of glaciers now supplying drinking water to millions, increased vector borne diseases, etc. (for short, potentially catastrophic AGW — or «CAGW»).

-- I have listed the «catastrophic results» that are projected to occur, according to IPCC AR4 WG1 SPM, pp. 8 and 13: temperature increase of up to 6.4 °C, heat waves, floods, droughts, increased intense tropical cyclones, extreme high sea level, as well as some of the secondary impacts, which IPCC projects in WG2, WG3: crop failures, disappearing glaciers now supplying drinking water for millions, spread of vector diseases, etc..

Positive effects such as extended feeding areas and seasons in higher latitudes, more - productive high latitudes, and lower winter mortality may be offset by negative factors that alter established reproductive patterns, breeding habitat, disease vectors, migration routes, and ecosystem relationships.
