Climate change, globalisation and vector borne diseases in the Nordic countries. The future distribution of vector borne diseases.

1. The project will identify and rank the vector borne zoonoses and vector borne infections in domestic animals most likely to emerge in the Nordic countries as a result of climate change.
2. The project will model the geographical distribution in the Nordic countries for the diseases that are most likely to emerge in the area. These models will be based on internationally recognised climatic scenarios for the coming 20 years (2030).
3. The project will hold a workshop to communicate the results, identify important gaps in present knowledge and discuss future Nordic veterinary surveillance and control strategies.
