Modelling the Dynamics of Vector-Borne Diseases Under Scenarios of Climate Change

Organised by:

 SCI's Biotechnology Group in partnership with the University of Westminster

University of Westminster, London

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

In the last decade the UK farming industry has been hit by the invasion of two new vector-bourne dieseases of animals, bluetongue and Schmallenberg.

Bluetongue and Schmallenberg are viral diseases, transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. A climate-driven model shows that our warming climate led to an increase in the risk of such invasions in the 1990s. A second, network-based transmission model shows that warming temperatures will increase the scale of such outbreaks in the future.
