Habitats directly impact and host populations, which in turn influence disease transmission. For example:
: Different climates support different types of vectors. For instance, mosquitoes, which transmit malaria, thrive in warm, humid environments. : Poor sanitation in both urban and rural habitats can lead to outbreaks of waterborne diseases. : Activities like deforestation and urbanization can disrupt natural habitats, causing wildlife to come into closer contact with humans and potentially leading to zoonotic disease transmission.
