Evidence of the impact of climate change on the transmission and incidence of foodborne diseases comes from a
number of sources, e.g. seasonality of foodborne and diarrheal disease, changes in disease patterns that occur as a
consequence of a temperature2, and association between increased incidence of foodborne illness and severe weather
events (e.g. floods, draughts, storms)3,4. Extreme climate events may alter the risk of pathogen infections and
diseases in both animals and plants
