Abstract

Climate change and urbanization are reshaping the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, leading to increased transmission risks in densely populated areas. This study systematically reviews the impact of urban expansion, rising temperatures, and erratic precipitation patterns on vector habitats and disease proliferation. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, selecting studies published within the last 20 years that empirically examine climate change and urbanization’s role in vector ecology. Findings highlight that rapid urbanization creates ideal breeding environments for disease vectors, exacerbating public health challenges. The urban heat island effect intensifies vector survival, while inadequate waste and water management promote their proliferation. Climate variability alters seasonal disease transmission, extending vector activity periods and increasing epidemic occurrences. Emerging technologies such as IoT and GIS have shown promise in improving surveillance and disease management but require policy support and infrastructure investments for optimal effectiveness. Mitigating these risks necessitates integrated approaches, incorporating urban planning, climate adaptation, and enhanced vector control strategies. Strengthening community participation, expanding access to sanitation, and developing predictive modeling frameworks will be essential in managing disease risks. Future research should explore adaptive control measures and long-term vector resistance mechanisms to inform sustainable public health interventions.

Abstract

Climate change and urbanization are intensifying the emergence of zoonotic diseases, posing urgent challenges to public health systems—particularly in rapidly growing urban areas. This narrative review examines the interplay between climate variability, environmental change, and zoonotic disease transmission, focusing on temperature shifts, precipitation patterns, and urban land-use dynamics. A systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize empirical studies across diverse climatic and urban contexts. Findings reveal that rising temperatures accelerate pathogen replication and expand vector habitats, while altered rainfall patterns increase the likelihood of waterborne and vector-borne disease outbreaks. Urbanization-induced deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and inadequate infrastructure further heighten human-wildlife interactions and disease spillovers. Vulnerabilities are exacerbated in low-income communities with limited access to sanitation, healthcare, and early warning systems. This review highlights the urgent need for integrative public health strategies and climate-adaptive urban planning to mitigate zoonotic risks. Policymakers must prioritize early surveillance, equitable health access, and ecosystem-sensitive development. By adopting the One Health framework and strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, cities can build resilience to future zoonotic threats in the context of accelerating climate change.
