| Abstract | Climate change is associated with changes in the occurrence of arthropod-borne diseases. - It is difficult to foresee which arthropod-borne diseases will appear in the Netherlands due to climate change. - Climate change influences the prevalence of ticks and may lead to a further increase in Lyme disease and an increased risk of the introduction ofrickettsioses. - With further warming of the climate there is a real possibility of settlement of the mosquito Aedes albopictus and introduction of the sandfly in the Netherlands. Whether this will lead to circulation of micro-organisms transmitted by these vectors (e.g. West Nile virus, Dengue virus, Leishmanin) is not clear. - Continued vigilance is necessary, even for vector-borne diseases that appear to be less relevant for the Netherlands. |
