Detailed explanation-1: -Humans, animals, and food are moving around the world more frequently and more easily than ever before-and carrying disease causing agents with them. In today’s globalized world, disease can spread quickly and is no longer contained to isolated geographical areas. Malaria is one example.
Detailed explanation-2: -Climate change, rapid urbanization and changing land-use patterns will increase the risk of disease emergence in the coming decades. Climate change, in particular, may alter the range of global pathogens, allowing infections, particularly vector-borne infections, to expand into new locations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Worldwide, these annual epidemics are estimated to result in about 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, and about 290 000 to 650 000 respiratory deaths. In industrialized countries most deaths associated with influenza occur among people age 65 or older (1).
