ANA Investigates Vector-Borne Illness

Climate change is no longer a distant worry—it's showing up in neurology clinics across the US, from Lyme meningitis in the Midwest to worsening migraines during heat waves, climate-linked and vector-borne neurological conditions are entering the differential.

Our guests today are two experts on climate change and neurological health: Dr. Beth Malow, Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Dr. Monica Diaz, Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They'll explore the clinical impact of climate change on neurology, and how neurologists can adapt through patient care, advocacy, and research.

Drs. Malow and Diaz were interviewed by Dr. Sara Stern-Nezer, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of California, Irvine.
