The goal of this article isto reveal the relationship between climate and infectious disease with stressing in the importance of multi-disciplinary approach in a globalproblem including vector-born disease, dengue fever, malaria, rodent-born disease, water and food born disease, cholera. This review has been written based on some research publications and will discuss more detail on their study design, statistical analysis methods, usage of meteorological variables, and results of those studies. The authors found that the limitations of analytical methods exist in the most articles, besides climate variables, few of them have limitation included others factors that can affect infectious disease (e.g. cultural, socio-economic status). In addition, the quantitative relationship between global climate change and infectious disease is consistent. Further research should be conducted among different populations with various climate or ecological regions by using appropriate statistical models.
