Climate change, predictive modeling and lemur health: Assessing impacts of changing climate on health and conservation in Madagascar

► Parasites affect survival of endangered lemurs, but current data are limited. ► Modeled distributions of six important lemur parasites cover up to 86% of forested area. ► Models predict lemur parasite distributions will expand up to 60% with climate change. ► A net expansion of parasite distributions could expose lemurs to new parasites. ► Models important for addressing health impact, protected area design and parasite risk.
