Recent research from the University of Surrey indicates that climate change could lead to a rise in diarrhoea cases linked to salmonella in Britain. Analyzed data from 2000-2016 showed a correlation between warmer temperatures, humidity levels, and salmonella incidence in England and Wales. Warmer conditions above 50°F, along with other factors such as reduced rainfall and longer daylight, create an environment conducive to bacterial growth. The findings highlight the complex relationship between climatic changes and foodborne illness outbreaks, suggesting a growing health risk as weather conditions alter due to climate change.
Temperature, humidity and day length [are the] key weather combination driving salmonellosis... the relationship between salmonellosis occurrence and climatic factors is complex and multifaceted.
Results showed a clear link between the spread of the bacteria and multiple weather trends that are linked with climate change.
