Researchers have found there is a correlation between extreme weather and cases of gastro among children caused by a common parasite

Climate change must be factored into efforts to prevent childhood gastro across the globe because there is a link between the disease and extreme weather, a new study has found.

The water-borne parasite, cryptosporidiosis, is particularly likely to lead to gastro in children younger than five.Factors considered included water and sanitation infrastructure, population density and local rainfall patterns, along with the likelihood of extreme weather in the region, such as flooding.

Lead researcher Dr Aparna Lal says she had expected water and sanitation infrastructure to hold a greater influence in the area.She argues the findings show climate must be considered by those trying to prevent diseases, along with socio-economic and cultural issues.

It was a choice of more money in the pocket or less, despite how progressive and sound Labor ‘s policies were. '..dissolve the false binary between the environment and the economy ....'
