Climate Change: Impact on Viral Diseases

Abstract: Gas emission by humans will change climate, warming by 1.4-5.8°C as predicted at the end of the current century. Climate oscillations between warm and cold phases (El Niño) add complexity in the field. The effects on health could be thermal stress, extreme weather events, and subsequently emerging infectious diseases. Consequences on food yields, social, demographic and economic imbalances, could also favour contagious diseases.Increasing vector-borne infections could represent a major health concern.

“…Multiplication rate is negatively influenced by low temperatures for many organisms, viruses, and bacteria. Schvoerer et al [ 35 ] consider that a temperature increase by only 2°C can create more appropriate conditions for pathogens’ proliferation. The increasing average temperature registered, especially in central and eastern Europe, affects the normal, natural life course and creates proper conditions for viral and bacterial spread [ 34 ].…”

“…Calicivirus can survive in the environment for a few days to several weeks on dry surfaces at room temperature and can last even longer in wet conditions in colder temperatures [3]. Higher temperatures on the earth's surface will trigger an increase in average rainfall [29]. Calicivirus is relatively heat resistant but sensitive to acidic pH values.…”

“…Arenaviruses, bunyaviruses, hantaviruses and noroviruses have also shown emergence evidences in the recent past, and climate change may have been a major factor behind this first reported emergence (Gould, 2009). Dislocation of people because of food shortages and overcrowding in places have been mentioned as the causative factor behind the increase and spread in arboviruses like dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile virus (Schvoerer et al, 2008). It is expected that because of climate changes, the distribution of disease-causing vectors will change, leading to an increase in old and new bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases (El-Sayed and Kamel, 2020).…”
