Climate change is increasingly recognized as a significant factor influencing the spread and emergence of infectious diseases. Climate change and infectious diseases are interconnected, as rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events create favorable conditions for many pathogens and their vectors, such as mosquitoes and ticks. For example, the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease is directly linked to changes in climate that expand the habitats of these vectors. As climate change continues, the frequency and distribution of these infectious diseases are likely to increase, presenting new challenges for public health systems worldwide. Addressing this intersection requires integrating climate science with disease surveillance and prevention strategies.
