Impact of climate change on insect-human interactions.

Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW\nTo update the influence of the global climate change on Hymenoptera venom allergy.\n\n\nRECENT FINDINGS\nClimate change facilitates biological invasions of hymenopteran species and plays a role in the impact of introduced species relevant for human health. It contributes to a rise in the incidence of sting injuries and allergy reactions across the world.\n\n\nSUMMARY\nGlobal climate change has contributed to the expansion and the redistribution of allergenic insect species, increasing the number of allergy cases caused by stinging insects worldwide. Imported insects are trending species in systemic reactions for multiple stings or hymenopteran venom allergy. They represent a threat for humans and a challenge for the allergists.
