The Invasive Impact of Climate Change on Public Health and Disease Outbreaks

rising global temperature conditionsClimate Change has had an invasive effect on our health and the hotter the weather how much the temperature rises The more it affects the growth of the virus. and only more bacteria

Therefore, the effect of “global warming” So it became a major problem. that affects all around, not only the environment But now it has begun to pose a serious threat to our public health and health security. What’s important here won’t be mobilizing forces to keep the temperature down. but to be prepared to prevent the health system from collapsing Efficient, sufficient and able to effectively prevent laxative diseases.

Prof. Dr. Teerawat Hemachutha, Head of Emerging Disease Health Sciences Center Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn Hospital gave an interview to Komchadluek that “global warming” conditionClimate Change impact on emerging diseases and making the same disease that had happened before with a severity rate and significantly altered conditions because of global temperature changes make germs bacteria Existing both in the animal called. nest disease must adapt to survive And build an island to protect yourself even more strength Especially in a situation where global warming The more bacteria and viruses, the better they can adapt in normal climatic conditions. Especially pathogens in animals that carry diseases such as elephants, horses, cows, buffaloes, which are considered animals that are a nest of diseases and can transmit germs to people or other animals as well.

“global warming” that causes global temperatures to rise And increase the severity of viruses or bacteria, it also affects the migration of birds and insects. The migration of these animals often carry pathogens with them.

Prof. Dr. Teerawat explain further that The warmer weather causes mosquitoes, ticks, tongues, insects to escape to survive. And adapt to the changing climate in order to survive, resulting in the migration of habitats to survive But the migration of these animals will bring with them diseases, especially mosquitoes and ticks, which the weather conditions greatly affect the incubation. Because the incubation of mosquito eggs is like dry air. But if it rains, the eggs can be hatched immediately. Therefore, in the case of incorrect seasonal rain, it greatly affects the propagation. Therefore, at this stage, we see an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever and more and more patients

Another phenomenon that confirms that climate change can actually affect bacterial growth is the melting of the Arctic ice cap As a result, the fossilized bacteria in the ice melted out as well. And found that the cave has a large pool. And there are many live bacteria. Importantly, those bacteria are resistant to drugs. That means the bacteria have adapted. and has evolved to survive in this way Head of Emerging Disease Science Center

for the preparation of the public health system in Thailand or preventing new epidemics Or the existing disease is more severe. The important thing is inevitable to change activities that will create pollution. reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reducing carbon dioxide emissions But now it might be too late.

Prof. Dr. Teerawat said that the most important thing is to know early and treat it in time to reduce the severe and widespread outbreak. Lasted a long time like COVID-19. by Emerging Disease Health Science Center has modified the method of analysis and research emerging disease by canceling the method of checking for disease from animals Because such methods are risky. and the possibility that we will introduce disease into animals in the wild And bringing animal diseases out to the poor causing repeated outbreaks, but what we do is study violence And the variability of the disease whether there is an abnormality or not. occurred at the wrong time quickly spread rapidly spread or not, for example, diseases that need to be monitored are respiratory disease encephalitis victim Other Fever Groups, Nipa Virus and Diarrhea If abnormalities as mentioned above are found Must urgently coordinate with the responsible agency to prepare, diagnose and treat patients or infected patients immediately. To prevent disease outbreaks, it is important to establish a command center to transfer information between local hospitals. big hospital fast

“Right now, we cannot cool the temperature of the planet. ’cause it’s too late But what can be done is to be aware and know quickly. because it is clear that global warming The continually rising temperature of the disease affects the growth and adaptation for survival of viruses, bacteria, and of course germs. Importantly, the unstable weather conditions make it even more difficult to predict the disease,” Prof. Dr. Teerawat concluded.
