Pandemics are often associated with viruses and bacteria occurring
in wildlife in natural environments. Thus, diseases of epidemic and
pandemic scale are mostly zoonotic, some of which include AIDS,
Zika Virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19.
The book seeks to explore the documented history of pandemics and
various epidemics which have the potential of turning into
pandemics with the warming climate, pollution, and environmental
destruction. The book covers some of the most essential elements of
the diseases of pandemic nature and their relationship with the
environment. Environment as a reservoir of human diseases Climate
Change: Emerging Driver of Infectious Diseases Occurrence and
Environmental Dimensions of Specific Pandemics and Epidemics
Pandemics, Environment, and Globalization: Understanding the
Interlinkage in the Context of COVID-19 Climate Change and Zoonotic
Diseases: Malaria, Plague, Dengue, Encephalitis Tuberculosis: An
old enemy of mankind and way to next pandemic Lassa fever in
Nigeria: case fatality ratio, social consequences, and prevention
There are cases where scientists fear that there are many epidemics
which have the potential of turning into pandemics, if not paid
attention to, and measures not being taken to control these
occurrences. This book attempts to provide integrated risk
assessment on COVID -19 like pandemics. It covers fundamental
factors of global disease outbreaks through the complexity and
severity of consequences. Information collated in this book would
help in the design of mitigation measures, including behavioral
changes that would prevent the emergence of such pandemics, thus
protecting human life and minimize losses incurred due to diseases
of such magnitude.
