    Snippet: The distribution of vector-borne diseases will change (40, 41, (63) (64) (65) . Warmer and wetter summers will affect the distribution and survival of pathogens and some disease vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks (39, (66) (67) (68) . Research has already documented possible shifts in the distribution of the vector of Lyme disease (29, (69) (70) (71) , and possible expansion of the potential range of West Nile virus (WNV) (40, 41, 72) .

    Document: The distribution of vector-borne diseases will change (40, 41, (63) (64) (65) . Warmer and wetter summers will affect the distribution and survival of pathogens and some disease vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks (39, (66) (67) (68) . Research has already documented possible shifts in the distribution of the vector of Lyme disease (29, (69) (70) (71) , and possible expansion of the potential range of West Nile virus (WNV) (40, 41, 72) . Mosquito vectors of WNV will be affected by longer summers (40, 41) . Increased incidence of the virus coincides with periods of prolonged hot weather and increased mosquito activity (73) . Recent research also indicates the potential for the re-emergence or emergence of exotic pathogens to Canada, including locally-transmitted malaria (63) . Emergent disease risks are by nature difficult to predict. Despite this, it is sensible to anticipate the spread of known diseases into new areas and the emergence of new diseases.
