Synthesize empirical research on climate change and infectious disease transmission from 2015 to 2020 to evaluate research trends, pathogen representation, and global equity.
Conducted a systematic review of literature published between 2015 and 2020 sourced from PubMed and Web of Science databases.
Screened studies using standardized inclusion criteria to extract data on empirical design, pathogen taxonomy, geographic focus, funding sources, and author demographics.
Identified substantial taxonomic bias, with empirical studies concentrating heavily on mosquito-borne vector diseases relative to directly transmitted pathogens.
Uncovered significant geographic and demographic disparities favoring temperate, high-income countries over tropical low- and middle-income regions.
Identified systemic inequities in publishing, marked by author gender disparities and concentrated funding sources.
