dc.description.abstractThe paper uses two case studies to investigate the effects of climate change on health: meningococcal disease and meningitis in Benin, and malaria in Zimbabwe. After elaborating on the nature of climate sensitive diseases, a number of recommendations are made in order to reduce occurrences and increases brought about by climate change. Location-specific manifestations of climate change determine interactions with, and effects on disease prevalence such as malaria, meningitis, and trypanosomiasis. Water borne diseases such as cholera and dysentery could experience a resurgence through a greater reproduction of different vectors (mosquitoes, flies).en
