8 Curiosities to prevent Sand Fly- Borne Diseases (SFBD)

Toscana Virus Brochure
The CLIMOS Toscana virus brochure highlights the growing threat of the Toscana virus. It explains why doctors should test for this virus in patients with neurological symptoms, especially those living in or travelling to Mediterranean countries.
CLIMOS Foresight framework
The CLIMOS Foresight framework analyses four distinct scenarios to address climate-driven health risks (such as sandfly-borne diseases). Each scenario pairs a specific strategic challenge with its corresponding operational solution based on two axes: Risk Management Style (Avoidance vs. Mitigation) and Early Warning System (EWS) Adoption (Low vs. High).
