What is the Effects of Climate Change on Distribution Of Pests and Diseases?

So what do you do about them? Me: I try to stay clean (besides all the 'keeping clothes in bags') and have a couple cans of TAT bug-spray ... one for flying insects & one for crawlies

Thanks for sharing your opinion mythociate. True indeed that pests and diseases are the factors affecting food safety and supply. Human body heat is very attractant pest most especially mosquitoes. Roaches inside the house (german cockroach) will also dependent to human, they cannot live and exist without the human activity. Rodents were also proliferating inside the establishment if there was a sufficient supply of food. All these pests and other pest unmentioned were greatly affecting public health wherein they will carry different form of diseases it maybe through food poison or injecting infectious disease to human through sucking.

In my end , i just correctly follow all the cultural measures and and precautionary measures so that proliferation of such pests will not increasing its rates wherein they can possibly produce breeding reproduction. Further, being cognizant on their biological behavior helps us a lot on how to totally deter and control them without using the alternative recourse of chemical application.

Oh...! What more can I say. What a sad facts to learn. Truly, just now I realized and understood all these facts. While we are enjoying now all the resources that we have, on the other hand we are likewise depriving the next generation of having a good environment. You have explained well the topic above-mentioned, as such thank you so big GilMegans for sharing.

Thank you ma'am grace for a valuable response, appreciated a lot. Anyway, referring back to the topic, I tried to expound further some important matters concerning the effect brought by climate change related to pest and other form of disease my brougt therein. Based on the study and research, human induced climate change is primarily due to accumulation of green house gases in the atmosphere. This accumulation however, is the result of combustion of fossil and fuels, large scale deforestation and other form of habitat destruction including mainly of expansion of agriculture. The primary effect of increase green gases is an increase in global mean surface temperature. Associated with the increased temperatures are a number of other environmental parameters which will be affected and it is beyond the scope of climate change. This will actually restrict influence changes on urban pest and vector borne diseases they are associated with insects and temperature. Insects, however, are cold-blooded organism and they cannot regulate their body temperature. The temperature of their body is approximately the same as that of their immediate environment. Therefore, temperature is probably the single most important environmental factor influencing insect behavior, distribution, development, survival, and reproduction. Yes, you are right that climate change influence the evolution of insects and might experience one to five additional life cycle per season. This also caused in impact by their physiology and development directly of indirectly through its own physiology or by changes in hosts. I just had hoped tha this simple information could help people more cognizant on how climate change affect the human environment including however the spreading of pest and diseases...

Hi flagella08, yes you're right. The subject climate change and pest distribution is compex as it is inter dependent on a number of factors. Climate change is expected to alter not only the natural environment as a result of flooding or drought but also the urban environment as a result of changes in land use. It will greatly affecting the reproduction and distribution of pest and diseases that will caused harmful effect to human being.

Hi anquye123, Yes that's right climate change greatly affects infestation of pest in the ecosystem which will likewise influenced vector borne diseases to human being.

Hi natliegleb, thanks for sharing your opinion. Well, pest will be increasing its population through temperature and other factors influencing the growth and breeding process of pests. It will affect not only to animals, food industry, environment but also to public health as well.

Thank you very much Dragonflykingdom for your valuable response. Yes you are correct, above mentioned factors affecting the reproduction, distribution and survival of pest is the prime reason that augment population and proliferation of pests. In terms of destruction made by them not only to human health but likewise to food industry will be the worst dilemma. Thus, ridding them out will be the best and effective move to deter spread out nuisance, destruction and diseases to people and environment. However, using pesticide and insecticide to control pest is ideal and recommended especially nowadays. It will not affect beneficial or harmless insects if the applicator is properly educated on the correct procedure of treatment application and the proper handling of chemicals.
