🌱🌍Our Climate and Health Cluster’s 2nd newsletter is out now! The latest news, valuable resources from the cluster, and updates from projects working at the intersection of climate change and health here: ➡️🔗 bit.ly/47K0LFa

🌍 New in the 2025 @LancetCountdown: A new indicator developed by @IDAlert_EU researchers tracks how #climatechange is expanding habitats for key tick species that transmit #infectiousdiseases. 🔗 Read the full report: lancetcountdown.org/2025-report/ #ClimateHealth #OneHealth

🥼 Researchers from #E4Warning and @IDAlertproject met at @ceabcsic for a joint workshop and hands-on fieldwork combining science, sensors, and collaboration. 🌿 The visit included @MarimurtraJardi, a key study site for #IDAlert research. #OneHealth

🦟 On #WorldMalariaDay we’re reminded that #malaria is not just history. As climate shifts, so do conditions for transmission, even in Europe. 📍In Attica 🇬🇷, #IDAlert tracks #Anopheles mosquitoes in wetland ecosystems to protect health & biodiversity. 🎥shorturl.at/GZ7MR

It’s #WorldHealthDay and this year’s focus is on maternal & newborn health🤱 Through our research, we’re also helping protect women, babies & communities from emerging health risks—as some infections can have serious consequences during pregnancy, affecting both mother & baby💚👶

📢 New study as part of IDAlert explores the temperature sensitivity of #WestNileVirus transmission. Optimal transmission occurs at ~24°C🌡️ for #Culex mosquitoes. 🦟 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1012866 👉 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #MosquitoBorneDiseases

🦠🌍 Last week, IDAlert held its 3rd General Assembly in Athens 🇬🇷, with 3 days of scientific exchange, strategic planning, & field demos, including a drone-based larvicidal intervention in Marathonas 👉 Learn more about the GA: idalertproject.eu/moving-forward…

👥 This week, part of the #MosquitoAlert team is in Athens for the @IDAlertproject General Meeting. 🌾 During the event, our co-director @fredbartu presented the Girona study site, highlighting the ongoing work in the Empordà Wetlands & at the @MarimurtraJardi Botanical Garden.

🏆IDAlert partner Anna Omazic wins the Science Communicator of the Year award from @SVA_vetmed! ✅She helped launch #ReportTick, a #citizenscience tool that has collected 25K+ tick images to track infections and has been featured in the media 475 times 👉idalertproject.eu/anna-omazic-re…

💬 We interviewed @lmbouwer, an expert in #ClimateRiskAssessment at @HereonHelmholtz, to discuss his work in IDAlert 🗣 "We are projecting future infectious disease risks under climate change, integrating scenarios & adaptation actions to inform policy" idalertproject.eu/developing-pro…
