Climate change is a challenge for the sustainable development of an international economy and society. The impact of climate change on infectious diseases has been regarded as one of the most urgent research topics. In this paper, an analysis of the bibliometrics, co-word biclustering, and strategic diagram was performed to evaluate global scientific production, hotspots, and developing trends regarding climate change and infectious diseases, based on the data of two decades (1999-2008 and 2009-2018) from PubMed. According to the search strategy and inclusion criteria, a total of 1443 publications were found on the topic of climate change and infectious diseases. There has been increasing research productivity in this field, which has been supported by a wide range of subject categories. The top highly-frequent major MeSH (medical subject headings)/subheading combination terms could be divided into four clusters for the first decade and five for the second decade using a biclustering analysis. At present, some significant public health challenges (global health, and travel and tropical climate, etc.) are at the center of the whole target research network. In the last ten years, "Statistical model", "Diarrhea", "Dengue", "Ecosystem and biodiversity", and "Zoonoses" have been considered as emerging hotspots, but they still need more attention for further development.
气候变化是国际经济和社会可持续发展的一项挑战。气候变化对传染病的影响已被视为最紧迫的研究课题之一。本研究基于 PubMed 上 20 年来（1999-2008 年和 2009-2018 年）的数据，采用文献计量学、共词双聚类和战略图分析方法，评估了气候变化与传染病相关的全球科学产出、热点和发展趋势。根据检索策略和纳入标准，共检索到 1443 篇气候变化与传染病相关的文献。该领域的研究生产力不断提高，得到了广泛的学科类别的支持。采用双聚类分析，前十年的高频主要 MeSH（医学主题词）/副主题词组合可分为四个簇，后十年可分为五个簇。目前，一些重大的公共卫生挑战（全球健康、旅行和热带气候等）是整个目标研究网络的中心。在过去的十年中，“统计模型”、“腹泻”、“登革热”、“生态系统和生物多样性”和“人畜共患病”被认为是新出现的热点，但仍需要进一步关注以促进其发展。
