Using Vector and Climate Change Disease Modelling to Inform Surveillance and Response in a Changing Climate
This presentation explores vector modelling and what it tells us about potential vector range expansion due to climate change. It presents, in response to several vector modelling initiatives that include BC, an overview of several different active and passive tick and mosquito surveillance programs that the BC Centre for Disease Control has been engaged with. These projects include active tick surveillance in the province (field work and ticks off birds), passive tick surveillance in companion animals and mosquito surveillance on Vancouver Island and the Sea to Sky region.
