Infectious diseases, pathogens (living things that cause disease) and vectors (living things that spread disease) are sensitive to changes in the environment and climate.
Hosts Megan Beahen and Alex Newman chat with Dr. Nick Ogden, Director of the Public Health Risk Sciences Division with the Public Health Agency of Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory. Using ticks and Lyme disease as a case study, this episode explores the impacts that climate change is having on the infectious disease landscape in Canada.
