475 Urban green space Urban space covered by vegetation of any kind, including smaller green space features (such as street trees and roadside vegetation), green spaces not available for public access or recreational use (such as green roofs and facades, or green space on private grounds) and larger green spaces that provide various social and recreational functions (such as parks, playgrounds or green- ways) (Hunter et  al. Chap. 18, this volume). Urban heat island Phenomenon in which cities and towns are much warmer than surrounding rural areas, particularly at night. It is primarily generated as a result of the physical properties of urban materials, their structure and  – to a lesser extent  – their use, e.g. through anthropogenic heat emissions (Lindley et  al. Chap. 2, this volume). Vectors Organisms that transport a pathogen from an infected host to an uninfected individual. The infectious agent may or may not pass through a developmental cycle within the vector. Climate change supposedly does not alter mechanical transmission but has a profound impact on biological vector competence and capacity (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Vector-borne diseases Diseases caused by parasites, viruses or bacteria that are transmitted by a vector such as arthropods (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Vector competence The ability of an animal to transmit a pathogen; this animal thus serves as a disease vector (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Zoonosis An infectious disease in an animal that can be transmitted to humans (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). References European Commission (2013) Building a green infrastructure for Europe.
