Abstract: The purpose of this review is to introduce various models for assessing the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases and their application in the future. The paper firstly analyzes the correlation between vector-borne diseases transmission and climate characteristics, and then reviews two categories of assessing models, i.e. deterministic and statistic models, which are exampled with the assessment of malaria, schistosomiasis and dengue fever transmitted diseases, respectively. Finally, future research priorities on the assessment models for vector-borne diseases are also given.

Key words: climate change, vector-borne diseases, deterministic model, statistic model
