Emerging Infectious Diseases 10:2100-2105. As shown on the left, past climate change has proved beneficial for the Chytrid virus (providing it with warmer, wetter environments in which it thrives) Scientists have predicted a decline in occurrence of the fungus (Shown to the left Climate Change will cause the globe to heat up to temperatures too high, and experience precipitation levels too large for the fungus to withstand We chose Chyrtrid fungus as an example of infectious disease to model our topic because the fungus survives outside of a host for several days (beyond the “Infectious” period of the SEIR model) and has an interesting relationship with climate change… The graph above depicts the effects of temperature shifts on the prevalence and intensity of Chytrid Fungus in both juvenile and adult frogs. It also shows the aspect of frog mortality. The graphic show that a temperature increases, intensity of the disease increases as well. As temperatures rise, the spread of chytrid fungus increases globally. This graphic shows the timeline and concentration of the spread of the fungus. Another example is Blue Tongue Disease, which effects ruminants (specifically cattle), and causes high death rates. Part of this disease is carried, and transmitted by mosquitoes that feed of of the cattle's blood. Since part of a mosquitoes lifestyle is spent in warm, wet environments, climate change (with increased temperatures and rainfall) will allow mosquito populations to thrive, and spread even more blue tongue disease.
