According to an article in the Infectious Disease Clinics of North America magazine : "Like mosquitoes, ticks have found a new habitat like warm climate and on the move, they are causing us very much. A good example is Babesiosis - a rare disease - caused by a parasite that infects red blood cells, which is found mainly in the Northeast and above the Midwest. In addition, the disease is mainly transmitted in the summer when the ticks and humans are most active, and the hot and longer summers are likely to be a good opportunity for the bacterium Babesiosis to transmit. growing ".
Similarly, Lyme disease can also spread to other areas in the North. In a 2008 article in Ecohealth magazine, " The tick is the Lyme disease-causing organism, predicted by 2080 it will be present in 213% of Canada's living environment if climate change continues to move. move along its trajectory ". The researchers concluded: " Mites can move out of the southern United States and the number will increase greatly in the center of the country."
Cholera diarrhea can be fatal because of contaminated water. The next time, when the earth gets warmer, researchers think that cholera outbreaks may rise.
A study presented in 2014 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union found that: " The increase in temperature and flooding caused by climate change may be the cause of disease. cholera epidemic in areas is increasing due to poor sanitation . " Researchers say: " Flooding can spread contaminated water to nearby areas, while drought-prone areas are often concentrated in cholera bacteria (Vibrio cholera bacteria) in these areas. Small waters, although the two environmental conditions are different, they are harmful to public health .
David Morens - senior scientific advisor at the Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said at Think Progress in 2015: " I put cholera at the top of the list of diseases that made me most worried when Climate change is suitable to develop in warm weather areas. So when the Earth warms, the water will warm up, it will be more favorable for it to develop and climate change will make the disease much worse . "
