[Climatic changes in Scandinavia--consequences for public health].

Atmospheric composition and climate conditions are of great importance for health. Increasing consumption of fossil fuels ever since the industrial revolution has resulted in higher contents of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Primarily, this will increase the global temperature. Secondarily, it may change the patterns of precipitation and droughts. Higher extreme temperatures will have a negative effect on health. Climate changes can also change the living conditions of undesirable insects and microbes. The ozone gas in the atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Chlorofluorocarbons contribute to reduction of the ozone layer and increase ultraviolet radiation. Increased exposure of the skin to this radiation may cause damage such as sunburn and skin cancer. In order to avoid damage, it is of importance to wear protective clothing or use effective sunshades.

Clinical aspects, prophylactic as well as therapeutical vaccination with a live attenuated vaccine against Trichophyton verrucosum are dealt with in this article. Further, the epidemical and zoonotical view of the disease is described. The farmers' motives to vaccinate differ depending on type of herd. Hygienic and disinfectant measures in connection with the start of a vaccination program are emphasized. In Sweden, vaccination against ringworm is included in the "Faultless Hide" scheme as one amongst other preventative measures aiming to improve the hide quality. A beneficial effect on both frequency of diseased herds and quality of the hides is obtained.
