ABSTRACT

Agriculture, human and animal health are all most climate sensitive sectors in the universe mostly in the developing countries whilst the rural poor communities are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Changes in climatic patterns and in seasonal conditions may affect disease behavior in terms of spread pattern, diffusion, range, amplification and persistence in novel habitats. The impact of climate change also increases the problem of water scarcity; Pasture land shortage and disease dynamics. Diseases in livestock result in severe effects on livestock survival, marketability, animal health and livelihood. Climate change effects directly and indirectly decreases in economy in form of less milk production, adverse health effect and Increased temperature may have effect on some pathogens and parasites in that it causes increased development on their life cycle outside their hosts with harmful effects on pathogens / parasites directly or indirectly, the host, the vector (if there is an intermediate host), epidemiological dynamics or the natural environment.
