Climate change affects the spread of typhoid pathogens
Abstract
Abstract Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (Salmonella Typhi). Syndromes in patients vary from asymptomatic carriers to severe or death outcomes, which are frequently reported in African and Southeast Asian countries. It is one of the most common waterborne transmission agents, whose transmission is likely impacted by climate change. Here, we claimed the evidence and consequences of climate‐related foodborne and waterborne diseases have increased and provided possible mitigations against Typhoidal Salmonella dissemination.
