“…aegypti re-appeared or maybe, in the case of the eastern Black Sea region, it simply was re-observed at the start of the 21 st century in certain parts of Europe again. The mosquito was reported from Georgia several times in the mid-20 th century (e.g., Brooks et al, 1966;Morlan and Hayes, 1958;Smith and Love, 1958). In 2001-2015, the mosquito was reported e.g., from South Russia, Madeira (Portugal), West Georgia, and North Turkey (Akiner et al, 2016;Ganushkina et al, 2012Ganushkina et al, , 2016Yunicheva et al, 2008;Margarita et al, 2006;Riabova et al, 2005).…”

The effect ofglobal cimate change on infectios disea are hypothal until more is knwn about the degree ofchange in temperature and hwndity that will occur. Diseases most likely to increase in their distribution and swerity have threefactor (agent, vector, and human being) and four-factr (plus vertebrate reservoir host) ecology. Aedes aeypti and Aedes aTbopictus mwsquitoes may move norrd and have more rapid orphosis with gobal warming. These mosquitoes transmit dengue virus, and Aedes aeptitrsits yellow fever virus. The faster metamorphosis and a shorter extrinsic incubation ofdengue and yeDlow fever viruses could lead to epidemics in North America. Wbno cholekeisharbored persistently in the estuaries ofthe U.S. GulfCoast. Over the past 200 years, cholera has become pandemic seven times with spread from Asia to Europe, Africa, and North America. Global warming may lead to changes in water ecology that could enhance similar spread ofcholera in North America. Some other infectious diseases such as LaCrosse encephalitis and Lyme disease are caused by agents closely dependent on the integrity oftheir environment. These diseases may become less prominent with global warming because of anticipated modifiction oftheir habitats. Ecoogical sudies will help us to understand more fully the possible consequences of global warming. New and more effective methods for control of vectors will be needed.

“…However, mosquitoes are only capable of survival above a given temperature. For example, the Aedes aegypti mosquito dies when the temperature drops below 0°C [ 11, with most of the larvae dying when the temperature is about 9OC [2]. Therefore, as temperatures vary with short-term climatic anomalies, and as temperatures rise globally due to increase concentrations of greenhouse gases, the mosquitoes are capable of migrating farther poleward, and of siirviving at higher elevations [3] [4].…”

The spread of infectious diseases worldwide is a cause for concern in areas traditionally susceptible to these diseases and in areas where these diseases have been previously unknown.This work concentrates on diseases for whch global mfection rates have been increasing and whch are transmitted by mobile agents, or vectors. For example, the mosquito is the vector responsible for the transmission of malaria, dengue and viral. encephalitis.
