A recent systematic review found that more than half of known infectious diseases will be aggravated by climate hazards, the majority of which are vector and water borne. Although genomic surveillance has become critical in many parts of the world, very little is known about the genetic diversity of vector and water borne pathogens. In addition, ecological and epidemiological mapping of pathogens aggravated by climate is needed to identify and control outbreaks before they become epidemics and epidemics before they become pandemics.
