Abstract
Global climate change is nowadays a widespread phenomenon. Earth’s climate is changing and this affects not only the temperature, rainfall, and weather patterns, but is also expected to stimulate the emergence and spread of several infectious diseases. This applies to both climate changes as a whole as well as the individual factors such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, etc. Changes in climate and weather patterns impact the survival, distribution, reproduction of disease pathogens, vector, and hosts as well as the availability of transmission environment. Diseases that are new to the field of medicine are appearing. These include Ebola, Lyme disease, Hantavirus, etc. while the global concern is the climatic impact on vector-borne diseases, such as Malaria, Chikungunya, Dengue, Yellow Fever, and Zika. However, the observed data is too short, the impact of climate independent factors too great, with lack of understanding of the degree to which climate affects the disease patterns, a small amount of uncertainty still remains on this subject. This review examines the possible effects of changing climate on vector-borne diseases, the relation between various climatic variables and pathogen/vector as well as the mitigation measures against vector-borne disease risks with respect to Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika, respectively.
