Impacts of climate variability on mosquito-borne diseases: A focus on dengue fever in disaster management and community resilience perspectives

Abstract

Background: Climate change can modify infectious disease patterns and raise the risk of transmission, particularly in the case of dengue fever. Human communities are at risk because of this fever. The effects of changes in ambient temperatures and precipitation levels on mosquito populations are crucial for understanding the consequences of the danger of mosquito-borne disease epidemics as the world's climate changes. This study aims to determine how the risk of mosquito-borne infectious disease especially dengue fever outbreaks relates to temperature, humidity, precipitation, and population density. Methods: The first stage was a literature review using Mendeley, Google Scholar, and the World Health Organization (WHO) website. Then data was collected and processed to find out the relationship among the variables and the outbreak. Finding: Warmer temperatures accelerate vector and pathogen metabolism, allowing for faster replication and dissemination, while erratic rainfall patterns may increase the number of suitable breeding sites. Conclusion: The result revealed that climate change has a significant impact on dengue fever outbreaks by influencing the proliferation of Aedes mosquitos, which is influenced by temperature, humidity, precipitation, and population density.
