Assessment of the impact of climate variability on the transmission of Ross River virus disease

评估气候变化对人口健康的潜在影响是一个重大的科学和公共卫生问题。随着人类引发的全球气候变化继续下去，有关其可能后果的问题受到越来越多的关注。澳大利亚的气候变化性很大。气候带从温带延伸到热带，气候随着时间的推移而波动。并预测澳大利亚将处于21世纪气候格局受影响最大的地区。然而，到目前为止，关于澳大利亚气候变化和变化对公众健康的潜在影响的研究很少。该项目旨在评估气候变化对罗斯河病毒感染和其他病媒传播疾病的传播的影响，这可能对气候变化的潜在公共健康后果产生重要的见解。

It is a significant scientific and public health issue to assess the potential impact of climate change on population health. As human-induced global climate change continues, questions about its possible consequences command increasing attention. Australia has a great level of climate variability. Climate zones extend from temperate areas into the tropics and the climate fluctuates over time. Also, it is predicted that Australia lies in the region where the climate pattern will be affected most in the 21th century. However, little research has to date been conducted on the potential public health impact of climate variability and change in Australia. This project aims to assess the effect of climate variability on the transmission of Ross River virus infection and other vector-borne diseases which may yield important insights into the potential public health consequences of climate change.
