  The Impact of Climate Change on Infectious Disease Patterns
  Author(s): Uzoechina Godswill Chidubem*
  
  Climate change is significantly altering the epidemiology of infectious diseases worldwide. Rising global temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and increasing frequency of extreme weather events are creating favorable conditions for the expansion of vector-borne, waterborne, and zoonotic diseases. This study examines the relationship between climate change and infectious disease patterns, focusing on key mechanisms such as vector habitat shifts, changes in pathogen survival rates, and disruptions in human-environment interactions. Regional case studies highlight the increasing prevalence of malaria in high-altitude African regions, the intensification of dengue outbreaks in South Asia, and the expansion of Lyme disease in temperate zones. Additionally, the study explores the implications of climate-induced disease burden on public health systems, emphasizing the need for clim.. Read More»
