new diseases associated with climate change?

chizzle dizzle

Hi,
I am doing a group project in college at the moment and thought that people on this forum might be able to help me.
I am just wondering if you could give me some diseases that are now associated with climate change. I know one or two already such as Malaria but is there any more you could give me.

Thanks.

fits

animal or human or both?

Bluetongue is one.

Please forgive my ignorance but could you please explain how malaria is now associated with climate change? Would you please clarify for me what exactly you mean by that statement? Was there no malaria before climate change ?

I think what they mean is that with th increased temperature, the mosquito population will increase greatly and spread, thus increasing the spread of malaria.

Time to stock up on tonic water!;)

TB too.

not really new diseases, just a re-emergence of old ones.
