There an increased risk of some infectious diseases due to climate change. This risk is particularly increased in those diseases that are spread by mosquitoes and other insects and that appear in warm areas. These 'vector-borne' diseases include malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis. As temperatures warm, algal blooms could also occur more frequently, particularly in areas with polluted waters.

Influenza we tend to catch it more when its cold and wet.

Most diseases are not sensitive to climate, Philadelphia had a serious yellow fever epidemic, Russia had a malaria problem, diseases spread from person to person dont care if you live in the Sahara or the Antarctic.

It's symptoms are the incessent need to find reasons why your predictions of AGW were so off. Usually the reason is a lack of understanding of climate sensitivity.
