Climatic and many other abiotic and biotic parameters unsurprisingly influence pathogen replication, vectors, disease reservoir populations and human societies. Relatively few studies address climatic influences at interannual or longer timescales. Thus, I seek to contribute to a deeper understanding of how environmental fa...
