Abstract

Gas emission by humans will change climate, warming by 1.4-5.8°C as predicted at the end of the current cen- tury. Climate oscillations between warm and cold phases (El Nino) add complexity in the field. The effects on health could be thermal stress, extreme weather events, and subsequently emerging infectious diseases. Consequences on food yields, social, demographic and economic imbalances, could also favour contagious diseases. Increasing vector-borne infections could represent a major health concern. Additionally, numerous floods and massive movements of people could facilitate the transmission of water-borne infections. Moreover, decrease in food supply could disorganise populations with crowding and concomitant spreading of transmissible infectious pathogens such as viruses. This short review aims to present the potential viral impact on human health in case of climate change, i.e. increased ar- boviruses, "tropical" viruses, and viral infections related to overcrowding in poor healthy context.
气候变化:对病毒性疾病的影响
人类排放的气体将改变气候,预计本世纪末气温将升高1.4-5.8°C。暖期和冷期之间的气候振荡(厄尔尼诺现象)增加了该领域的复杂性。对健康的影响可能是热应激、极端天气事件以及随后出现的传染病。对粮食产量、社会、人口和经济失衡的影响也可能有利于传染病。越来越多的病媒传播感染可能是一个主要的健康问题。此外,大量的洪水和大规模的人口流动可能促进水媒感染的传播。此外,粮食供应的减少可能使人口混乱,造成拥挤,并伴随病毒等传染性病原体的传播。这篇简短的综述旨在介绍在气候变化的情况下病毒对人类健康的潜在影响,即,在健康状况不佳的环境中,由于过度拥挤而增加的ar- bovirus、“热带”病毒和病毒感染。
