Effects of Extreme Weather Events on Infectious Diseases Which Experienced During El Niño

Öz

During El Nino, in some areas of world excessive rains and floods takes place and has encountered long-lasting drought. In this study, the effects of infectious diseases which extreme whether events such as; hurricanes, typhoons, floods and prolonged droughts which is occurs after El Nino, are mentioned. Thus for it is investigated in this study importance of spreading infectious diseases between pathogens, vectors and human behaviour

Anahtar Kelimeler

• El Nino, typhoons, hurricanes, floods, drought, extreme whether events, infectious diseases

El Nino döneminde yaşanan ekstrem hava olaylarının bulaşıcı hastalıklar üzerindeki etkileri

Öz

El Nino döneminde Dünyanın bazı bölgelerinde ekstrem yağışlar ve seller meydana gelirken, bazı bölgelerinde ise uzun süren kuraklıkların yaşandığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada El Nino döneminde yaşanan kasırga, tayfun, seller ve uzun süren kuraklıklar gibi ekstrem hava olaylarının bulaşıcı hastalıkları hangi yönde etkilediği konu edilmiştir. Bunun için patojen ve vektörler ile insan davranışlarının bulaşıcı hastalıkların yayılmasındaki önemi incelenmiştir

Anahtar Kelimeler

• El Nino, LA Nina, tayfun, sel, kasırga, kuraklık, ekstrem iklim olayları, bulaşıcı hastalıklar
