NIEHS Acting Deputy Director Gwen Collman, Ph.D., outlined a few new considerations that have arisen in recent years. For example, although communicable diseases have been plaguing society for hundreds of years, exposure to environmental chemicals has grown with industrialization, compounding the risks already posed by infectious agents. “We know t...
Advances in technology made it possible for scientists to create the vaccines necessary to lessen the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. But early on, technology failed to swiftly detect new cases and outbreaks, allowing SARS-CoV-2 to spread out of control. “In a pandemic situation, we cannot rely on event-based surveillance, where we are diagnosing in...
Within the COVID-19 pandemic itself emerged an “infodemic” of misinformation that could lead to deadly consequences if not tackled properly, according to Pascale Fung, Ph.D., from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Fung explained how she is using artificial intelligence to debunk conspiracy theoriesand help scientists and members of th...
May 31, 2007 · The third group includes infectious diseases for which the environment (e.g., food, water, soil) plays a significant role in a pathogen’s transmission cycle. In the first subtype (IIIa), transmission occurs between humans and the environment directly; no other host animals are involved.

Research and data analysis, particularly in relation to COVID-19, has shown that meteorological factors along with population density and living conditions (particularly in the urban and semi-urban areas) play a crucial role in the intensity, evolution and spread of SARS-CoV-2.
Oct 13, 2021 · In the Review, Baker, Metcalf and colleagues examine how global change affects infectious diseases, highlighting examples ranging from COVID-19 to Zika virus disease.
Several published studies 1–3 have analysed the association of infectious diseases with possible environmental or geographical factors as drivers, such as precipitation, temperature, ecoregions, soil types, and altitude; as well as socioeconomic or demographic factors such as gross domestic product, poverty rate, percentage rural population ...
