The Effect of Temperature on the Distribution of Zoonotic Pathogens in Livestock and Wildlife Populations: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence for the impact of climate change on the distribution of zoonoses has largely focussed on the burden in humans and is lacking information on the effect of temperature on nonvectorborne zoonoses that are transmitted indirectly through contaminated environments. We present a systematic literature review on the impact of temperature on the distribution of zoonotic pathogens in mammalian livestock and wildlife populations, with a focus on nonvectorborne zoonoses that can be spread through air, water, food, and soil.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, as well as grey literature, and screened titles, abstracts, and full text. English, peer-reviewed, and full text studies were included if they: focused on temperature; considere
