SANCHEZ MENDOZA, Berenice et al. Causes and consequences of climate change in livestock production and animal health. Review. Rev. mex. de cienc. pecuarias [online]. 2020, vol.11, suppl.2, pp.126-145. Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 2448-6698. https://doi.org/10.22319/rmcp.v11s2.4742.
The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere is causing an unprecedented climate change with serious implications, such as extreme weather events and changes in the function and composition of ecosystems. Due to its importance it is relevant to analyze the impact of climate change on livestock systems. An area that requires special attention is precisely animal health, the emergence and re-emergence of vector-borne diseases in numerous regions of the planet are a clear example of the association between climate change and its effects on the human/animal health interface. The effects on health animal can obey multiple social and environmental factors causing the so-called "diseases of production", which influence the appearance of emerging diseases. However, each region and each livestock system has its own vulnerabilities. These aspects must be taken into account for the design of local and regional risk maps, as well as for the efficient design, implementation and socialization of risk management processes for diseases.
