Doctors watch the forecasts
Article Abstract:
International research on the link between climatic changes and the outbreak and spread of infectious diseases will help in the development of preventive measures. Changes in climatic factors such as temperature, sunshine, and ocean current affect the outbreak of diseases by regulating the movement of disease vectors. Monitoring climatic and ecological changes will help in preparing local health resources and increasing public awareness.
