ABSTRACT
There are three sectors of the triad (hosts, microbes, and environment) which climate impacts (Fig. 1). The climate change has a dramatic effect on infectious disease and on the transmission of food and waterborne diseases that comes from a number of sources (e.g., the seasonality of foodborne and diarrheal disease), changes in disease patterns that occur as a consequence of temperature, and associations between increased incidence of food and waterborne illness and severe weather events (Hall et al., 2002; Rose et al., 2001). The predictable food and waterborne diseases of the developing countries (e.g., bacillary dysentery, cholera) are less frequent in developed countries, due to stringent public health measures such as proper sewage disposal, clean water and hygiene.
