Climate change is incurring lots of unintended consequences for health worldwide which dengue fever is among the top of those diseases. Climate change is accelerating the spread of dengue fever worldwide which by 2085, an estimated 52 percent of the world's population or about 5.2 billion people will be living in areas at risk of dengue. In 2008 alone, dengue fever and its complications cause 50 to 100 million infections and 22,000 deaths annually in more than 100 countries. Climate change would directly affect disease transmission by shifting the vector's geographic range and increasing reproductive and biting rates and by shortening the pathogen incubation period. The objective of this paper is to determine association between climate change and dengue diseases. For this purpose, published papers from journals, thesis and book on climate change and dengue diseases were searched and reviewed. In conclusions, there are many factors that could explain the growth in the number of cases of dengue, but surely increases in temperature and precipitation because of climate change is the most important factor contributing to this phenomenon.
