| Abstract | ||||
| According to human Rights Organization Amnesty International, the terms refugee, asylum seeker, and migrant are used to describe people who have left their countries and crossed borders. The terms are often used interchangeably, but it is important to distinguish between them, as there is a legal difference. Meanwhile, communicable diseases remain a significant world health issue particularly with the global climatic changes. The global climatic change already changed the conditions more suitable for risk spreading of certain zoonotic vector-borne diseases to non-endemic countries. This review was attempted to connect refugees’ and migrant' travel and communicable diseases | ||||
