New Atlas Charts Relationship of Climate and Disease

U.N. 'Atlas of Health and Climate" Offers Leaders Tool For Early Warning of Disease Outbreaks.  Associated Press.  October 29, 2012.

This volume relates, as an example, the number of cases of meningitis in sub-Saharan Africa with the dry season, a relationship which has resulted in approximately 25,000 deaths over the past 10 years.

 It was created with the cooperation of the World Health Organization and World Meteorological Association and was designed to assist leaders and policymakers.

The atlas can be found here.
