CV
Dr Cyril Caminade
I am originally trained as an applied physicist & climatologist. I obtained a PhD about climate variability in Sub-Saharan Africa at CERFACS and at the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse in 2006. In early 2008, I moved to the University of Liverpool to study the impact of climate variability and climate change on the risk posed by several key vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue, Zika, Rift Valley Fever, plague, bluetongue, fascioliasis, haemonchosis and invasive vector species such as the Asian tiger mosquito. I am a multidisciplinary scientist with broad scientific interests (computing, physics, climate and climate change, statistics, epidemiology, risk modelling, public health, tropical diseases…). I am now working on modeling vector control measures at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. Outside of work, I massacre songs in pubs with my guitar. I also enjoy playing strategy games on line, among many other things.

Research highlights
In 2018, we wrote an extensive review of climate change impacts on vector-borne diseases for the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
Our study published in PNAS in 2017, using the Ross-MacDonald Ro model framework, showed that the climatic conditions related to the 2015 El Niño event favoured the Zika outbreak that had a large impact on Latin America that year.
In collaboration with EU colleagues, we produced the first multi-model malaria climate change risk assessment in PNAS in 2014. This highly cited work is used by national and international governmental agencies focusing on climate change impacts (World Bank, WHO, UN agencies…).
Our 2012 study anticipated the northward spread of Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, in Europe and into southern UK.
Our work confirmed the impact of the 2006 heatwave on the emergence of bluetongue, a midge-borne disease affecting ruminants, into northern Europe.
Our work highlighted that future climate change will become more conducive for the transmission of the sheep liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, and other helminths, in temperate regions of Europe and the UK.
