AB  - The  release  of  greenhouse  gases—principally  carbon  dioxide—into  Earth’s  atmosphere  since  the  late  nineteenth  century  has  contributed  to  a  climate  unfamiliar  to  our  species,  Homo  sapiens.  This  new  climate  has  already  altered  the  epidemiology  of  some  infectious  diseases.  Continued  accumulation  of  greenhouse  gases  in  the  atmosphere  will  further  alter  the  planet’s  climate.  In  some  cases  climate  change  may  establish  conditions  favoring  the  emergence  of  infectious  diseases,  while  in  others  it  may  render  areas  that  are  presently  suitable  for  certain  diseases  unsuitable.  This  chapter  presents  the  current  state  of  knowledge  regarding  the  known  and  prospective  infectious-disease  consequences  of  climate  change.
