**5. Conclusions**

While there is rising global attention to climate change, there is also increased research productivity in the field of climate change-related infectious diseases, which has been supported by a wide range of subject categories. At present, some significant public health challenges (global health, travel and tropical climate, etc.) are at the center of the whole target research network. "Statistical model", "Diarrhea", "Dengue", "Ecosystem and biodiversity", and "Zoonoses" were considered as emerging hotspots during the last ten years, but they still need more attention for further development. The present study provides the academic community and policymakers with baseline information in this field. Additionally, it provides a framework of the bibliometric analysis, co-word biclustering analysis, and strategic diagram on the scientific productions from a quantitative and contents points of view. The framework can assist the researchers to clarify the history, development, and trend in themes in the target field.
