Infectious diseases can lead to a rapid population declines or species extinctions. Many pathogens of marine taxa and terrestrial are sensitive to humidity, temperature, and rainfall creating synergisms that could impacts biodiversity. Climate warming can lead to increase in the pathogen development and survival rates, disease severity, disease transmission, and host susceptibility. The effects of climate changes on infectious diseases can play a major part in human history, influencing the increase and fall of civilizations and promoting the conquest of new territories. In order to improve our ability to predict wild epidemics, it will be important to separate the independent and interactive impacts of multiple climate drivers on disease effects. In this review, we highlighted the significant climate changes on infectious disease distribution.
