Abstract

The ecosystems of planet Earth have been subjected to significant changes in climate because of human activities in the last several hundred years. As winters become milder and springs begin earlier each year, many of the most common vectors, including mosquitoes and ticks, have more time to reproduce and are expanding their natural habitats. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of how mosquitos and ticks impact the health of school-age children. This is the sixth and final article in a series of articles meant to educate school nurses about poor health outcomes related to changes in climate and to provide them with the tools they need to safeguard the well-being of children.
