Effect of environmental seasons in the epidemiology of waterborne diseases: a review

Abstract

The effects of seasonal climate change are uncertain because of the complicated links between seasonal climate and waterborne illnesses. It is so challenging to predict which waterborne diseases will be most impacted, what the specific impacts will be, and over what time frames such alterations might take place. Since many infectious diseases are climate-sensitive, Bangladeshis are not only vulnerable to the direct consequences of climate change but also to its indirect effects, which are alarming due to the potential for epidemics. Therefore, it's crucial to concentrate on present capabilities and adaptability potential against waterborne infections. This review paper is intended, through analyzing the available literature, to highlight the anticipated effects of seasonal climate change on waterborne infections and to provide knowledge-based elements for more focused adaptation measures in Bangladesh. In order to improve readiness, a variety of advancements are examined in this study. Adoption of new surveillance techniques which can hasten detection and improve the efficacy of intervention for waterborne outbreaks and increased commitment to global information efforts can enhance preparedness for seasonal climate change and waterborne disease incidence in Bangladesh.
