Changing risk of vector-borne infections in uzbekistan under climate change
Keywords:
vector-borne diseases, climate change, Uzbekistan, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever,Abstract
This thesis examines the shifting risk landscape of vector-borne infections in Uzbekistan under the influence of climate change. Uzbekistan is among the most climate-vulnerable countries in Central Asia, with average temperatures rising 0.27°C
per decade—faster than the global average. These climatic shifts are expanding the geographic range and seasonal activity of disease vectors, including mosquitoes, ticks, and sand flies, creating new epidemiological risks.
