Process of global warming can change distribution of infectious diseases. According to data of the Colombian university, global warming will lead to additional scale distribution of known infectious diseases, and also will “transmit” related diseases from regions which latitudes are nearer to equator to regions with the moderate and cold climate.
” The Washington Profile ” informs that it is not obviously possible to make exact forecasts nowadays, however it is noticeable, that the geography of diseases will depend on distribution of insects and microorganisms.
Scientists mark, that in the world will grow the quantity of a malaria illnesses , which is transmit by mosquitoes. If the temperature of a terrestrial surface will raise, mosquitoes will migrate in regions of a planet which was earlier inaccessible to them; in parallel with it - the number of the people bitten by mosquitoes and quantity of diseases will increase.
The second most probable scenario is change of character epidemics of flu. In tropical latitude regions people are sick by a flu during all year , while in cool regions epidemic arises in a cold season of year. If global warming will proceed, inhabitants of Northern America, the Europe and Northern Asia will be sick by a flu during all year.
In turn, research of Michigan university has shown, that the world can expect epidemics of the diseases similar to a cholera.
Global warming will be accompanied by increase in quantity of typhoons, hurricanes, flooding and so on. It will inevitably lead to pollution of sources of potable water, to density of the population, and also to phenomenon of “ecological refugees “. Result can become - rough distribution of intestinal infections, and also a tuberculosis, respiratory and venereal diseases.
