The Effect of Climate Changes on human Bacterial infectious diseases

A growing body of documents shows that rising average global temperatures can be one of several causes of disease emergence and reemergence among human and animal populations. In this regard, climate mostly affects diseases caused by pathogens that spend part of their lifecycle outside of the host, exposed to the environment like water-borne diseases, food-borne pathogens, and vector-borne zoonosis. In addition, the displacement of people and damage to health infrastructures from the projected increase in climate variability could indirectly contribute to the transmission of infectious diseases. However, although the globe is significantly warmer than it was a century ago, there are some documents that climate change has led to diseases. Analyzing the role of climate in the emergence of infectious diseases will require interdisciplinary collaboration among climatologists, physicians, social researchers, and biologists. Understanding the association between climatological and ecological change as determinants of disease emergence and redistribution will eventually help optimize preventive methodologies. Here, we review the scientific evidence of how global warming and patterns affect different human bacterial infectious diseases.
