Due to the advancement of emerging technologies and the advent of Big Data as a fundamental part of modern life, there have been significant changes in how data is collected and analysed. As it happens to the life cycle of the sand fly species Phlebotomus papatasi, data also undergoes a detailed process of development and evolution to extract valuable information that can support decision-making.

Phlebotomine sand flies can be found in various regions around the world, primarily in warm and tropical climates. However, climate change is dramatically altering their geographical landscape. Milder winters and warmer temperatures extend their reach into new regions, prompting earlier and intensified sand fly activity. This shift increases the risk of sand fly-borne diseases in areas where they were previously non-existent.

In today’s world, at every step we can find different platforms that display information related to the impact on human health. The number of platforms grows from year to year, which is good, but it also brings with it questions about the relevance of those platforms and their survival after commissioning and the first year in operational mode.

Climate change has and will continue to transform the flora and fauna of Europe, and along with this, hosts of new diseases are likely to spread to domestic animals and to people. It is also likely that diseases spread by sand flies, such as leishmaniasis, will rise. Sand flies that have become endemic in southern Europe are already migrating to the European North as the climate is becoming warmer.
