Because this is the 3rd time I got the flu since
I arrived in the UK, I thought that this post should be about climate change
and flu. I found some interesting articles that link climate change and the influenza
virus which will hopefully catch your eyes. During the last century, there has been made a lot of research that shows that the expansion of many diseases is related to climate change; such as malaria , avian flu, swine flu or diarrhea.
This is why some specific regions are more likely to 'benefit' from a distinctive virus.This is why Malaria is not so common in Europe but in the equatorial zone and conversely the avian flu and the swine flu were more common in Europe and America and affected less Africa and Asia.
Until next time, enjoy your reading and I will make sure that I am stocked up on tissues, meds and tea.
Climate change and temperature rise: Implications on food- and water-borne diseases is one of those articles that is ' in charge of an area' this time Syria, zone that is dealing with different types of diarrhea, because of the water quality issue.
Climate change and the global malaria recession is another article that focuses on an illness that killed a lots of people in the past and which is likely to return as a result of climate change, rising temperatures and poor water quality/
