Increase in temperature levels and changes in rainfall pattern helps the insects to stay active for longer time period which increases the risk of spreading communicable diseases for the people residing in that area (Anderson and May, 2012).
The broader perspective of choosing this area is that epidemiological data of (2011-2015) reported 29% of the total population residing in New Hampshire suffered from communicable diseases due to Air pollution and improper sanitary conditions (Dietz, Jambai, Paweska and Ksaizek, 2015).
