Can someone please summarize this in 5 sentences?
The projected global increase in the distribution and prevalence of infectiousdiseases with climate change suggests a pending societal crisis. The subject is increasinglyattracting the attention of health professionals and climate-change scientists, particularly withrespect to malaria and other vector-transmitted human diseases. The result has been theemergence of a crisis discipline, reminiscent of the early phases of conservation biology.Latitudinal, altitudinal, seasonal, and interannual associations between climate and diseasealong with historical and experimental evidence suggest that climate, along with many otherfactors, can affect infectious diseases in a nonlinear fashion. However, although the globe issigni?cantly warmer than it was a century ago, there is little evidence that climate change hasalready favored infectious diseases. While initial projections suggested dramatic futureincreases in the geographic range of infectious diseases, recent models predict range shifts indisease distributions, with little net increase in area. Many factors can affect infectious disease,and some may overshadow the effects of climate.
Explanation / Answer
1. Infectious Vector transmitted diseases like malaria, have become a global infectious disease.
2. Initially it was thought that the global change in climate across the globe is the major cause of this disease; despite other cause like latitudinal, altitudinal, seasonal, and interannual associations between climate and disease.
3.Besides environmental changes, Increased movements of people, expansion of international trade in foodstuffs and medicinal biological products, urbanization, and deforestation are also great contributors of these diseases.
4. Add to that the rapid adaptation of microorganisms, which has facilitated the return of old communicable diseases and the emergence of new ones, and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance, which means that curative treatments for a wide range of parasitic, bacterial and viral infections have become less effective, and a communicable disease in one country today is the concern of all.
5.. At last, Summarising the causes of global infectious disease; To a greater extent, drug resistance, hygiene, and economic factors; and to a lesser extent, environment related climatic factors.
