Climate change and emerging infectious diseases.
The ranges of infectious diseases and vectors are changing in altitude, along with shifts in plant communities and the retreat of alpine glaciers. Additionally, extreme weather events create conditions conducive to clusters of insect-, rodent- and water-borne diseases. Accelerating climate change carries profound threats for public health and society.
متن کاملClimate Change and Public Health: Emerging Infectious Diseases
Climate restricts the range of infectious diseases, whereas weather affects the timing and intensity of outbreaks. Climate change scenarios project a change in the distribution of infectious diseases with warming and changes in outbreaks associated with weather extremes, such as flooding and droughts. The hypothesis of this article is that the ranges of several key diseases or their vectors are...
متن کاملClimate change and infectious diseases
Global changes are major determinants for infectious diseases, although attributable, part of climate change remains debatable. Vector-borne diseases are prone to be impacted by global warming, although other factors may play a substantial role, evidenced by the dramatic decrease in malaria in the last decades in places where climate change has deep and significant effects. There is now evidenc...
متن کاملClimate change and infectious diseases
The previous chapter considered how short-term variations in climatic conditions and extreme weather events can exert direct effects on human death rates, physical injury, mental health and other health outcomes. Changes in mean climatic conditions and climate variability also can affect human health via indirect pathways, particularly via changes in biological and ecological processes that inf...
متن کاملglobal climate change and infectious diseases
climate change is occurring as a result of warming of the earth’s atmosphere due to human activity generating excess amounts of greenhouse gases. because of its potential impact on the hydrologic cycle and severe weather events, climate change is expected to have an enormous effect on human health, including on the burden and distribution of many infectious diseases. the infectious diseases tha...
