Abstract:

Zoonosis is a major public health problem in the world. In recent years, zoonosis occurs frequently around the world, which is a serious threat to human health and ecological security. As one of the largest challenges to humans in the 21st century, climate change is an important factor driving the emergence of zoonosis. It is expected that the global average temperature will rise by 2-5 ℃ in the future, accompanied by more frequent and intense extreme weather events. Temperature, humidity and other climatic conditions will affect the survival, reproduction, abundance and distribution of zoonosis hosts, vectors and pathogens, and the dynamic interaction among humans, animals, and the ecological environment also increase the risk of zoonosis outbreaks. This paper discusses the relationship between climate change and zoonosis, explores how to construct an efficient early warning system for zoonosis risk under the influence of climate change, and applies the concept of One Health to the early warning of the spillover, spread and outbreak of zoonosis, in order to achieve efficient prevention and control of zoonosis.

Key words: Zoonosis, Climate change, One Health, Surveillance and early warning system
