There's a growing concern in the influence of climate change with temperatures worldwide affecting public health and well-being. Over 50 years of aggregated research data show that human activities mainly led to global warming caused via the greenhouse effect of the high carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. Such impact rises in the ambient temperature and creates massive climatic disruptions like eroding land from raised sea levels because of the melting of the Antarctic and Arctic ice, droughts, spike the extent of storms and hurricanes, and floods in several regions. Universally, such unfavorable outcomes have ongoing damaging influences on almost all nations, however higher on low-middle-income countries, with adverse effects on sustainability and development, including the health and well-being of millions of individuals. Lately, the effect of climate change on waterborne infectious diseases has become clearer. Intense climatic events like storms might contaminate the recreational coastline waters, raising the danger of diarrhea and other waterborne infectious diseases. Polluting drinking water is an obvious reason for transmitting waterborne infectious diseases in intense water-associated climatic conditions. The plant system for treating water might become diminished because of massive rains. Climatic events affect insect vectors’ life cycle by influencing the reproduction and survival rates, habitat, prosperity, and transmission; similarly, it affects the proliferating and survival rates of the infectious agent inside the vector. This chapter explores climate change, effects on public health, and well-being, involving an expected rise of waterborne infectious diseases.

The area of bioinformatics emerged as a method to promote biological research more than two decades ago. Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary field of study composed of biology, mathematics, and computer science. It has emerged as a smoothing biological science instrument and saves findings as far as possible. Every day, enormous biological data are accessible to the science community by producing high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies. Bioinformatics and algorithm approaches are now being used to evaluate such significant results. More scientifically, bioinformatics can be used to retrieve, mine, interpret and sort information with cross-linking references, which are accessible to help grasp biological complexities in this comprehensive natural archive and offer new insight.
