Abstract :

Natural disasters have killed millions of people in recent decades, impacted the lives of over one billion people, and resulted in large economic compensations. In catastrophes, the principal causes of communicable disease can be divided into four categories: Infections caused by tainted food and water, respiratory infections, vector and insect-borne diseases, and infections caused by wounds and traumas are among the most common. In this scenario, diarrheal illness and acute respiratory infections are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. The goal of this systematic review protocol is to guide the identification, appraisal, and synthesis of the best available evidence on the prevention and assessment of the following priority infectious diseases: diarrhoea, hepatitis A and E, leptospirosis, vector-borne diseases, and wound and injury infections.
Key words: Communicable disease, Prevention, Review
