Communicable Episode 16: Climate change and infections – effects on clinical practice & sustainability
The topic of climate change can engender a ‘doom and gloom’ narrative, as many climate and health consequences are already manifesting. Host Navaneeth Narayanan is joined by two ID physicians passionate about climate change and sustainable clinical practice, Shreya Doshi and Laura Jung. Together they explore how climate change, through warming, precipitation changes, and extreme weather events, is altering disease patterns globally, including mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika, as well as tick-borne and fungal infections.
