The Intersection of Climate Change, Vector-Borne Disease and Reproductive Health

Speakers:
Wylie, MD MPH

The Pediatric Environmental Health Center at Boston Children’s Hospital and the New England Region Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) welcome health professionals to attend the monthly virtual Pediatric Environmental Health (PEH) Grand Rounds.

There has been a global rise in infectious disease outbreaks and a notable tripling of vector-borne illnesses in concert with the warming climate. In this seminar, we will review the contribution of ongoing anthropogenic climate change to the emergence and resurgence of infectious diseases, focusing on vector-borne infections that are particularly harmful during pregnancy, such as Zika virus, malaria, and dengue virus. The burden of illness from these infections is not equally distributed across the globe; populations in the Global South disproportionately bear the brunt of these infections, yet whose daily activities contribute drastically less to ongoing climate change. We will also address how some infection control strategies, such as insecticide use for vector control, can also adversely impact reproductive health, requiring a careful balancing of both risks/benefits of disease and control strategies by policymakers, clinicians, and individuals.
