- Climate change and infectious diseases
- The effects of climate change on health are multiple and complex. Whilst there is some evidence to suggest that diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, including malaria and dengue fever, are particularly sensitive to variations in climate, the spread of these diseases is also affected by human activities and their impact on the environment and local ecology.
World malaria day, 25 April 2008
The world malaria day was established in 2007. It replaces the Africa malaria day and is celebrated in order to provide education and understanding of malaria as a preventable disease.
The world malaria day provides an opportunity for malaria-free countries to learn about the devastating consequences of the disease, for new donors to join a global partnership against malaria, and for countries in affected regions to learn from each other's experiences and back each other's efforts.
