The challenge of a possible cholera outbreak is facing Bangladesh as the climate-induced warming of the earth induces the growth for algae and bacteria, experts have observed.
The temperature rise in Bangladesh will make possible the growth for various algae and bacteria, leading to more cholera cases in the country, said Dr Md Sirajul Islam, emeritus scientist of International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh.
Global warming caused by climate change might influence the transmission dynamic of cholera, he added.
The environmental microbiologist came up with the observation during his presentation on water treatment as an adaptation option to climate change-induced waterborne diseases. It was part of a session, titled “Health and Migration,” of the inaugural day of the 4th Annual Gobeshona Conference for Research on Climate Change in Bangladesh (Gobeshona 4), organised by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development.
In the opening speech of the inauguration programme, Director of ICCCAD, Dr Saleemul Huq, introduced Gobeshona as a knowledge-based platform, and explained how it brings together scientists, researchers and policymakers.

Looks like it’s time for another concert.
Oh ,so it’s not because they use the bathroom in the streets
Bangladesh ALREADY has those conditions.
It is sanitation that is their problem, not weather.
As if the sanitary conditions in Bangladesh had nothing to do with it.
Well, I don’t believe that the 1854 cholera outbreak in London was because of any type of global bullshit/warminng.
It was because the decrepit and non-existent sewers of London became so bad that all of the animal parts, garbage, human and animal crap and other contaminants were diverted into the Thames river resulting in the disease outbreak.
If the third worlders would come into at least the 20th century and stop crapping and pissing where they walk, bathe, sleep, eat, and drink the water then maybe they would not be making themselves sick.
Rudyard Kipling mentioned lots of Cholera outbreaks in his stories about “Injah”. What caused glo-bull warming back then?
The real problem is that aid, from the US or the UN does not go into infrastructure to remedy these shortcomings, but into high end poverty tourism where global elites stay in 6* resorts to carry out another commission to study the problem and report back on what we could do about it - which will result in a recommendation for another commission, another study and another report.
Very low country. Water doesn’t flow, it stands. They die by the bushel every monsoon season. Cholera is nothing new to Bangladeshis.
Prior to the climate change of the past 30 years, Bangladesh was a very dry, very cold place . . . . .
Why just Bangladesh? Why not Guam? One of our congress critters said it was going to tip over.
What caused all the previous cholera outbreaks in Bangladesh?
goebble warming causes chicken poks
Right? a cholera in Bangladesh is like saying “Oh damn, the dog has fleas’’. If there weren’t a cholera outbreak in Bangladesh every other month I’d think something was not right in the world.
Just . plain . stupid
“Foreign aid is the taking of money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries’’.
Prior to taking a field job in Indonesia, I was specifically warned to avoid any surface water like the plague since muslims have a cultural rule to crap in it.
The freezing temperatures should clear that up.
This is probably not humane, but it is logical:
Wouldn’t a massive cholera outbreak kill lots of people, and doesn’t “lots of people” cause global warming?
So maybe a massive cholera outbreak is a cure for global warming???
Dang; this pseudo science is harder than “new math”
