Abstract

Climate change has been related to pattern changes in the occurrence of several diseases. Recent studies indicates that, in the next decades, diseases typical from tropical areas such as dengue and zika will be present in the Europe. The expansion in the area of occurrence of these diseases is consequence of the expansion of vectors´ ecological niches. The increase in the number of infections around the world and the excessive use of medicines may result in the establishment of more resistant strains.The microbial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today. It can lead to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. In this sense, it is of major importance to quantify and preachify the health impacts of microbial resistance.
