Climate epidemiology research. Climate epidemiologist with a smartphone application with maps displaying data from research into the evolution of tick populations responsible for many diseases. Weather stations (one in background) are installed in habitats such as this forest, with the data used to update the maps that estimate risk of increased tick activity. Changes in animal and plant populations, and related disease patterns, are one aspect of the consequences of climate change due to global warming. As well as ticks, populations of fleas and mosquitoes are also affected by climate change. This study is being led by French researcher Karine Chalvet-Monfray (shown here).
