A Critical Review on the Role of Climate Change in the Emergence and Re-Emergence of Zoonosis

Abstract

The role of climatic change on zoonotic disease epidemiology is evident by changes in reservoir and vector dynamics. Climatic variation creates new ecological niches for vectors hence altering temporal and spatial distribution of disease. The climate change has effect on distribution and occurrence of zoonotic disease such as West Nile fever, Rift valley fever and Japanese worse for the developing world where challenging socioeconomic encephalitis. It is considered as and political environments are exacerbated by a lack of epidemiological studies on the Emergence and Re-Emergence of zoonotic diseases.
