About this ebook
Emerging Pandemics: Connections with Environment and Climate Change, 1st Edition by Sadaf Nazneen, Akebe Luther King Abia, and Sughosh Madhav explores how climate change, environmental degradation, and globalization act as primary drivers for the spillover and transmission of infectious diseases. [1, 2]
The book provides an integrated risk assessment of global disease outbreaks, examining how warming temperatures, pollution, and habitat destruction increase human exposure to wildlife pathogens. [1, 2]
Core Topics & Chapter Focus
According to the book's outline and chapter structure, the primary areas covered include: [1]
- The Environment as a Pathogen Reservoir: Investigating the occurrence and environmental dimensions of specific epidemics and pandemics, detailing how viruses and bacteria circulate naturally in wildlife and ecosystems. [1, 2]
- Climate Change as a Risk Multiplier: Analyzing climate shifts (temperature, humidity, and precipitation changes) as emerging drivers that accelerate the replication, transmission, and geographical redistribution of infectious pathogens. [1, 2]
- Economic and Environmental Interlinkages: Assessing the direct economic consequences of emerging pandemics and how public health crises subsequently impact environmental policy and ecosystems. [1]
- Globalization and COVID-19: Understanding the interconnected relationship between global trade, rapid human mobility, urbanization, and the environment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. [1, 2]
- Specific Climate-Sensitive Zoonotic Diseases: Detailed case studies on vector-borne and zoonotic illnesses highly reactive to environmental shifts, including:
- Malaria, Plague, Dengue, and Encephalitis: How altered climates expand the territorial boundaries and seasonal activity of insect vectors.
- Zika Virus: The environmental conditions triggering outbreaks and their direct associations with neurological complications like Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly.
- Lassa Fever: A focused look at its prevalence in Nigeria, analyzing case fatality ratios, socio-environmental consequences, and prevention metrics. [1, 2, 3]
- Re-emerging Global Threats: Analyzing Tuberculosis as an "old enemy of mankind" and evaluating the environmental factors that could position it or similar bacterial infections as the next global pandemic. [1, 2]
- Emerging Contaminants: Investigating pollution and new ecological contaminants that compromise human and animal immune health, facilitating viral cross-species jumps. [1, 2]
