Fig. 2 — We carried out three complementary literature searches about case examples of diseases affected by climatic hazards. Search 1 combined as keywords ‘disease’ by each of the ten climatic hazards analysed. Search 2 combined each of the ten climatic hazards analysed by each disease name listed in two authoritative databases of infectious diseases [i.e., GIDEON (Global Infectious Disease and Epidemiology Network) and CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention)]. Search 3 was a data gap confirmation, and in it, we looked for all combinations (disease names by climatic hazards) in which the first two searches did not return any case example, using alternative names of the diseases, pathogens and hazards. For this latest search, an approximation of the number of references scrutinized cannot be calculated because this latter search was variable in the number of papers scrutinized until data were found or 200 citations reviewed (Methods).
