Overall climate is more determinate of tick population and daily weather has a subtle effect on the spread of tick-borne disease. Being mindful of daily weather patterns and vigilantly avoiding exposure to ticks reduces human exposure to Lyme disease. [5] Lyme disease number of cases reported by county 2007 Peak summer weather July 2007. Warm ...
Climate change is spurring more cases of tick-borne Lyme disease. FAIR Health's recently announced third study focused on Lyme disease's notable growth in the U.S. over the past 15 years.
Richard Simon Ostfeld (born September 25, 1954) is a Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York. He is best known for his work on the ecology of Lyme disease, which he began studying while monitoring the abundance of small mammals in the forests of Cary Institute property in the early 1990s.
Findings underpin The Tick Project, [13] a 5-year study testing interventions with the potential to reduce Lyme disease and protect public health. A three-decade research program on the Hudson River [ 14 ] informs sustainable shoreline management, and a synthesis of imported forest pests and pathogens is the basis for Tree-SMART Trade, [ 15 ] a ...
The Environmental Protection Agency warns that disease-carrying ticks are most active in warmer temperatures, and climate change will likely mean the insects will increasingly survive the winter ...
That is due to climate change, ... Subsequent cases of tickborne illnesses such as Lyme disease were up too. ... a Canadian research vessel and support ship, lost contact with the Titan, operated ...
Climate change and increasing temperatures will also impact the health of wildlife animals as well. Specifically, climate change will impact wildlife disease, specifically affecting "geographic range and distribution of wildlife diseases, plant and animal phenology, wildlife host-pathogen interactions, and disease patterns in wildlife".

Recently, studies have concluded that there is an increased risk of Lyme disease in Southern Canada due to the home range expansion of the tick vector Ixodes scapularis, which is responsible for carrying the disease. [37] Climate change creates milder winters and extended Spring and Autumn seasons. [38]
