Climate change is expected to have direct and indirect effects on livestock welfare and health. This report identifies livestock diseases of concern for New Zealand that are likely to be impacted by climate change in terms of incidence, severity or distribution. The review showed that parasitic diseases with a free-living stage and infectious disease caused by an agent that can survive outside the host had the highest climate sensitivity and are hence more likely to be affected by climate change.
