EMERGING PATHOGENIC VIRUSES

 EMERGING PATHOGENIC VIRUSES

Here are some of the critical changes affecting the planet that researchers have identified for the emergence of so many new (and old) pathogenic viruses. They have not escaped anywhere in the world.

Demographic change: increasing population and refugees, accelerating migration, global urbanization, increasing population density in confined spaces such as urban centres and prisons, blood transfusions, organ transplants, reuse of medical devices, drug contamination, resistance to viruses and antibiotics.

Economic and commercial trends: Excessively widespread industrial agriculture with consequent damage to the hemodynamics of the ecosystem. Worldwide expenditure on commercial edible animals, edible plants and agricultural medicines.

Ecosystem disturbances: deforestation, waterway disturbances, reduced predators, destruction of wild plants.

Climate change: Disruptive viruses in climate hemodynamics due to anthropogenic factors such as global warming, increased CO2 and environmentally harmful gases have been in balance with host species (such as wild bee and buffalo populations) for millions of years. Stay alive. The destruction of healthy ecosystems by human invasion and the resulting loss of host species and their habitat encourages the virus to jump across species. And one of the species they jump into is us (or animals that survive with us: pigeons, rats, pigs, chickens - then they quickly move into us). After all, we (and our feed animals) are far more present than any other large life form. It is not that difficult to find. In fact, many of us live in the same places as previous hosts of the virus. And the house is at the house. Our body is not very different from other animals on this planet. It's simple customization for the virus to become a new host. Some of the most common, resistant or newly toxic infections are dengue virus (infects millions of people worldwide every year), hepatitis C, enterovirus 71, HIV, and cytomegalovirus and Epstein virus, including eight members of the herpes family that affect people. Bar virus. The world's biggest problems (except HIV) are caused by influenza and encephalitis viruses. Influenza seems to be a somewhat mild illness in the minds of many people, but “only another "flu case" is a dominant viral pathogen. Our factory farms (swine and chicken viruses increase pathogenicity), growing populations, the outdated nature of stroke diseases and health systems, and the intelligence of the virus will ensure that pandemic strains reappear. It is a matter of time. As Robert Heinlein once said: "Population problems have terrible opportunities to solve themselves.”
