The article : Global Warming and Infectious Disease

Since I have decided my research topic about the relationship between the current spreads of vector-born diseases and global warming, I focus on the certain articles that explain the biological and scientific effect of global warming to the life and condition of organisms. The article I want to introduce and share the contents is " Global Warming and Infectious Disease" written by Dr. Atul Khasnis and Mary Nettleman.



The article explain thoroughly that hoe the global warming and climate chage impact has impact on worldwide health condition. The major components of life which are water, food, and the migration have changed dramatically because of the tendancy of increasing temperature. The huge number of people are facing the shortage of those living components and the accesses to satisfy the components. Moreover, this shortages and difficulties have also impacted on the spread of vector-born diseases.



The article says the increasing temperature itself helps the viruses to mature shortly and cover the larger areas than in lower temperature, and also climate or haman living condition chage due to the global warming accelerate the occurance of unusual outbreakes of vector-born viruses.

There are many vector-born and infectious diseases threat human health seriously such as malaria, WNV(West Nile Virus), and dengue fever which are carried by vectors that mosquitoes, arthropods, and rats, or the warmer and polluted water and soli are also a big factor as vectors.



According this article the relationship between viruses and global warming is very complecated and related in many matters of human life. It worsen the health condition of people who have the poverty and the lack of medical accesses. Therefore, it is not the only problem of human health, but it is also the political and economical issuse that concerns people in the world.



It is very helpful article to me because I learned that our health is also exposed in danger of global warming and it is very neccessary to prevent it from further damege of viruses. The information in this article is clear to organize and support my research paper. I hope I can continue to find other helpful articles for my research paper.
