Infectious disease outbreaks or re-emergences can be traced to a number of factors including urbanization and population growth, climate change and agricultural practices. For instance, overcrowding in certain cities or the depletion of natural resources due to industrialization can lead to increased contact between animals and humans – thus providing opportunities for pathogens to spread more easily.
A change in the climate patterns due to global heating could also lead to an increase in some vectors’ range (such as mosquitoes), while also contributing towards wetter conditions on the ground, which may provide ideal breeding areas for microorganisms. Furthermore, agricultural developments such as monoculture farming – which creates uniform environments for pests – could facilitate greater transmission rates among species both near and far.
Finally, with globalization rapidly expanding across borders it’s becoming easier than ever before for individuals to move from one country to another- presenting additional challenges when it comes to controlling these infections as well. Ultimately by recognizing these potential factors – healthcare professionals can better prepare themselves against any future outbreaks that may arise.
