Temperature, forest cover and cattle predict the risk of being infected with Mansonella perstans in Uganda... Also, this species of parasite has a geographical range that very distinct from another filarial worm, Wuchereria bancrofti, in Uganda. Yet, where they do overlap, there is a positive association between the two species.. I find that quite intriguing.

The results are surprising because they contradict the general assumption that climate change leads to greater geographical spread of diseases. The explanation is that the parasite’s host snails stand to lose suitable habitat due to climate change.
