Description
Eleni Galanis and Nicholas Ogden warn doctors in Canada about diseases emerging with climate change. Their 2026 piece notes that shifts in temperature and rain are driving such diseases into new regions. Tick and mosquito borne illnesses pose a rising risk. Two papers in the same issue cover tick borne diseases that can be caught in Canada.
Climate change helps germs, carriers, and animal hosts survive and spread, the authors say. It also shifts human behavior. Lyme disease, already common in Canada, is a case in point. Its range has grown. Doctors play a key role, they argue. They spot where and when diseases emerge and alert public health staff. New regions face diagnostic challenges, since local doctors may not expect these illnesses.
