Climate change and diseases seasonal in the woroba (Ivory Coast)

Remote sensing Seasonal diseases have increased in the Woroba Autonomous District over the past three decades. As a result, they represent a major public health problem. This study aims to establish the link between climatic parameters and the emergence of seasonal diseases in Woroba. The methodology is based on a documentary analysis and a field survey. The sources consulted focus on climate change and the emergence of seasonal diseases. The field survey was carried out through direct observation, interviews and a questionnaire. Statistical processing of the data was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS - version 18.0) software, which allows for the calculation of means, standard deviations and cross-tabulation. A chi-square test was applied to assess the significance of the relationship between climatic factors and the emergence of seasonal diseases. The results reveal a gradual rise in temperatures, with an average increase of 0.8°C per year since 2000. At the same time, rainfall amounts have drastically dropped by 12 to 28% between 1980 and 2000. The incidence of seasonal diseases is higher during the rainy season than during the dry season. The most common illnesses are acute respiratory infections (ARI), malaria, and diarrhea.
