“…As a microbiologists' warning, the intent is to raise awareness of the microbial world and make a call to action for microbiologists to become increasingly engaged in and for microbial research to become increasingly integrated into the frameworks for addressing climate change and accomplishing the united Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Box 2). It builds on previous science and policy efforts to call attention to the role of microorganisms in climate change 7,126,[270][271][272] and their broad relevance to society 7 . microbiologists are able to endorse the microbiologists' warning by becoming a signatory.…”

“…An improved understanding of microbial interactions would help underpin the design of measures to mitigate and control climate change and its effects (see also rEF. 7 ). For example, understanding how mosquitoes respond to the bacterium Wolbachia (a common symbiont of arthropods) has resulted in a reduction of the transmission of Zika, dengue and chikungunya viruses through the introduction of Wolbachia into populations of A. aegypti mosquitoes and releasing them into the environment 258 .…”
