Climate-sensitive gastrointestinal diseases report released

The report presents indicators for campylobacteriosis, cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, and salmonellosis, and examines how climate change may affect their occurrence and distribution.

Key findings include:

Notification rates of gastrointestinal diseases are high in areas of the country expected to experience significant changes in local climate, which may further increase disease incidence.
Giardiasis notification rates were high in parts of New Zealand that are, on average, drier and are expected to become drier over time.
