Abstract

Developing nations with limited resources are expected to face a host of health effects due to climate change, including vector-borne and water-borne diseases such as malaria, cholera, and dengue. There are viruses, bacteria, protozoa and multicellular parasites. Those microbes that cause “anthroponoses” have adapted via evolution, to the human. Climate change scenarios include a change in distribution of infectious diseases with warming and changes in outbreaks associated with weather extreme events. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus i.e., Covid-19 and its seriousness has withdrawn the attention of the healthcare systems from these diseases. It is a challenge as to how the primary health care providers might discuss preventive health care strategies, develop preventive programs, put special between attention towards the vulnerable communities and regions, and encourage community participation in grass-root planning, emergency preparedness and make capacity to forecast future health risks caused by the vector or water-born diseases due to climate change and due to common symptoms of COVID-19 with most of the vector-borne diseases it seems to continue in our community in future.
