Ecological disruptions (15:18, Week 5, Lec 1)

[Amitabh]

At 15:18 (Week 5, Lec 1), you mention that "ecological disruptions could cause both temporal and spatial shifts in temperature, precipitation, and humidity...increasing the risk of pathogen transmission..."

Is the higher risk of pathogen transmission coming from higher temperature, precipitation, and humidity or lower temperature, precipitation, and humidity. Thanks in advance.

Hi Amit. The relation is not directly proportionate as such. It always depends on the type of pathogen, its microenvironment and the disease risk factors.

Thanks you
