Climate Crises and Developing Vector-Borne Diseases

Climate Crises and Developing Vector-Borne Diseases

Background: Climate change based on temperature, humidity and wind can improve many characteristics of
the arthropod carrier life cycle, including survival, arthropod population, pathogen communication, and the
spread of infectious agents from vectors. This study aimed to find association between content of disease followed climate change we demonstrate in humans.
Methods: All the articles from 2016 to 2021 associated with global climate change and the effect of vectorborne disease were selected form databases including PubMed and the Global Biodiversity information facility
database. All the articles selected for this short review were English.
Results: Due to the high burden of infectious diseases and the growing evidence of the possible effects of climate change on the incidence of these diseases, these climate changes can potentially be involved with the
COVID-19 epidemic. We highlighted the evidence of vector-borne diseases and the possible effects of climate
change on these communicable diseases.
Conclusion: Climate change, specifically in rising temperature system is one of the world’s greatest concerns
already affected pathogen-vector and host relation. Lice parasitic, fleas, mites, ticks, and mosquitos are the prime
public health importance in the transmission of virus to human hosts.
