It is expected that climate change would have a great impact on the emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, especially on vector-borne and waterborne diseases. It has also become increasingly clear that the dynamics which underpin related infectious diseases systems are inherently nonlinear and stochastic. Yet, while there has been significant progress and development in the theory of nonlinear dynamics and phenomena, much work remains to be done. The impacts of climate change on environment and health are still far from clear. In this conference we will address the impacts of climate change on disease vectors and hosts.

This conference will act as a platform to foster further collaborations and networking among epidemiologists, mathematical modelers and health and public health personnel. We hope that the conference will provide a unique opportunity for accelerating international and interdisciplinary cooperation and fruitful research collaboration.

The Dynamics of Climate Impact on Infectious Diseases conference is supported by Nanjing Normal University, China; Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, Canada; Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS) of Canada; Public Health Agency of Canada; MITACS Centre for Disease Modeling (CDM); LAMPS lab of York University; National Institute of Parasitic Diseases; and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. This conference is the continuation of the previous one held in 2008 in Nanjing Normal University.
