Abstract

Disruption of the temperature-humidity balance poses a threat to global ecosystems and affects the spread of infectious diseases. A long-term study by Theodosopoulos et al. on a wild bird population in a temperate region of Northern Europe reveals a significant increase in avian malaria parasite prevalence under a climate-warming scenario.
