Abstract:
Climate change is increasingly shaping the global landscape of infectious diseases. Rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns are facilitating the spread of vector-borne illnesses. Extreme precipitation events are linked to waterborne disease outbreaks, while extended summers contribute to more foodborne illnesses. These environmental changes, combined with individual vulnerabilities, also influence the risk of developing rheumatic diseases. Among infectious agents, arboviruses emerge as the most strongly associated with rheumatic conditions and are particularly well-positioned to exploit global interconnectedness, urbanization, and climate change to further drive their worldwide proliferation and public health impact.
