The pressing issue of sand fly-borne diseases, exacerbated by climate change, environmental shifts, and globalization, has been a driving force behind research interests. Identifying the likelihood of these diseases spreading to new geographical areas and becoming more prevalent in endemic regions.
The main aim of the CLIMOS project is to support the establishment of an Early Warning System (EWS) for all endemic sand fly vectors and the main pathogens (Leishmania parasites and Phleboviruses) and sand fly triggered health infections and potential diseases. The approach will be prospective, i.e., generate predictions to assist policy recommendations, provide interactive maps for risk management and carry out adaptation cost and benefit assessments.
The workshop aimed to develop qualitative scenarios to explore the role of EWS in 2035. We will reflect on current experiences and requirements on EWS and how such a tool can influence the mitigation of Leishmania.
