Vector-borne diseases and urban adaption to climate change

About
Urban adaptation to climate change increasingly relies on nature-based solutions such as green spaces, wetlands, and water retention systems. While these measures provide important environmental and societal benefits, their effects on mosquito populations and mosquito-borne viruses remain poorly understood. This project will investigate how nature-based solutions influence mosquito ecology, virus diversity, and transmission dynamics in urban environments. By integrating field sampling, virological analyses, and ecological data, the project aims to identify potential trade-offs and co-benefits between climate adaptation strategies and vector-borne disease risk, supporting evidence-based and health-conscious urban planning.
