ABSTRACT:
Climate change has profound effect on disease in freshwater ecosystems. The pathogen distribution is affected by global warming with variation in host range and its abundance as variables, and, generally transmission rates of parasites and pathogens are expected to rise through impact upon anthropogenic stressors in ecosystems. The climatic change and stressors in combined form exert negative effects on host organisms and their populations. The key species in aquatic ecosystem showed transmission of disease through exchange of nutrients in trophic levels.
