Pasteur Network and GeoSeeq Foundation Partner to Tackle Climate-Associated Increases in Infectious Disease

Tuesday, October 31, 2023

PARIS and NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The threat of infectious diseases is constant and far-reaching, killing 14 million people annually. Changes in climate are exacerbating infectious disease threats, especially for water- and vector-borne diseases. These increased infectious disease threats are most often distributed in low- and middle-income countries, which experience annual surges in dengue virus, malaria, cholera and other infections. While prevention is the ideal approach to controlling infectious diseases, there is limited cross-border surveillance and coordination to drive prevention and response. Furthermore, despite recent lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, there is still no global system for infectious disease monitoring. Instead, existing platforms are siloed and single-modality or single-region focused.

Key Points: 
  • Changes in climate are exacerbating infectious disease threats, especially for water- and vector-borne diseases.
  • "This partnership marks an important step toward unlocking untapped potential across a leading global infectious disease network," said Dr. Rebecca Grais, executive director of Pasteur Network.
