This book explores the history of pandemics and epidemics that have the potential to become pandemics due to climate change, pollution, and environmental destruction. It covers topics such as climate change as a driver of infectious diseases, specific pandemics and epidemics, and the interlinkage between pandemics, environment, and globalization. The book provides risk assessment on pandemics, including COVID-19, and aims to help design mitigation measures to prevent the emergence of such pandemics and protect human life. It is 180 pages long and published by CRC Press in English. ISBN-10: 1032265345, ISBN-13: 978-1032265346.

Description

Emerging Pandemics (EPUB)

with the exception of an article by Sadaf Nazneen (Editor), an article byAkebe Luther King Abia (Editor), and a Sughosh Madhav article (Editor).

Pandemics are often considered to be caused by viruses, as well as bacteria that occur in the wild in natural environments. As a result, epidemics and pandemics that are of a large scale are typically caused by zoonotes, some of which include AIDS, the Zika virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19. The book attempts to explore the documented history of epidemics and various pandemics that could become epidemics with the warming climate, pollution, and environmental destruction.

The book discusses some of the most important components of pandemic diseases and their association with the environment:

The environment as a source of human illnesses

Climate change: significant contributor to infectious diseases.

The presence and environmental components of specific epidemics and pandemics.

Pandemics, the environment, and globalization: understanding the connection in the context of COVID-19.

Climate change and zoonotic diseases: malaria, plague, dengue, and encephalitis.

Tuberculosis: an old adversary of mankind and a possible next epidemic.

Lassa fever in Nigeria: the case fatality rate, social effects, and prevention.

Occurrences that scientists worry about are potential pandemics, if we don’t pay attention to them or take action, respectively. This book attempts to combine the assessment of risk associated with epidemics like COVID-19. It encompasses the fundamental components of global epidemics via the complexity and seriousness of the consequences. The data in this book can help with the design of countermeasures, including behavioral changes that could prevent the onset of these diseases, thereby protecting the lives of humans and minimizing the damage caused by epidemics of this type.
