Authored by Sadaf Nazneen, Akebe Luther King Abia, and Sughosh Madhav, this riveting book delves into the intricate relationship between pandemics, the environment, and globalization, exploring the documented history of pandemics and epidemics that have the potential to escalate into catastrophic outbreaks.

The Increasing Threat of Zoonotic Diseases

Zoonotic diseases, such as AIDS, Zika virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19, are predominantly associated with wildlife in natural environments. As the warming climate, pollution, and environmental destruction continue to deteriorate our planet, the risk of pandemics and epidemics intensifies.

  • Environment as a reservoir of human diseases
  • Climate change as an 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, and encephalitis
  • Tuberculosis: an old enemy of mankind and possible next pandemic
  • Lassa fever in Nigeria: case fatality ratio, social consequences, and prevention

The Looming Threat of Emerging Pandemics

Scientists warn that many epidemics have the potential to escalate into pandemics if left unchecked. This book provides an integrated risk assessment on pandemics like COVID-19, covering fundamental factors of global disease outbreaks through the complexity and severity of consequences.

A Comprehensive Guide to Mitigating Pandemics

The information collated in this book will aid in the design of mitigation measures, including behavioral changes that could prevent the emergence of such pandemics, ultimately protecting human life and minimizing losses incurred due to diseases of such magnitude.
