THE RELATION BETWEEN THE ENVIRONMENT AND PANDEMICS

Descrição
-
In late 2019, one of the biggest pandemics of our time, with the
power to completely shut down cities, was revealed. This is Sars-cov-2,
which spreads very quickly and is transmitted through the air. The
Coronavirus is nothing new to the world and warnings about the risk of
pandemics have existed for many years, such as that of the 2013 epidemic,
made by the WHO (World Health Organization) at a time when there was
already alarm about the potential of this virus to cause outbreaks.
Pandemics are nothing new to humanity. They were present at different
times in history, and this paper aims to present the link between
pandemics and disturbances of the natural environment, with emphasis
on zoonoses. Some pandemics and their consequences will be briefly
exposed, pointing out parallels between them. The study was carried out
through the analysis of scientific articles within the specified topic in
journals with a high level of reliability, seeking to understand this
phenomenon and how to face them. This paper was written while the
world was going through the Sars-cov-19 pandemic and was evolving
together with the discoveries made day by day by the scientific world.
Goals were defined for this paper, such as studying zoonoses and their
forms of transmission, analyzing the human factor and how it impacts the
environment, and pointing out solutions to solve these problems. This
literature review concludes that when humans invade the natural
environment and destroy existing relationships in this place, diseases
transmitted from animals or from the environment itself can arise, which
may or may not cause new pandemics through zoonoses.

Abstract

In late 2019, one of the biggest pandemics of our time, with the
power to completely shut down cities, was revealed. This is Sars-cov-2,
which spreads very quickly and is transmitted through the air. The
Coronavirus is nothing new to the world and warnings about the risk of
pandemics have existed for many years, such as that of the 2013 epidemic,
made by the WHO (World Health Organization) at a time when there was
already alarm about the potential of this virus to cause outbreaks.
Pandemics are nothing new to humanity. They were present at different
times in history, and this paper aims to present the link between
pandemics and disturbances of the natural environment, with emphasis
on zoonoses. Some pandemics and their consequences will be briefly
exposed, pointing out parallels between them. The study was carried out
through the analysis of scientific articles within the specified topic in
journals with a high level of reliability, seeking to understand this
phenomenon and how to face them. This paper was written while the
world was going through the Sars-cov-19 pandemic and was evolving
together with the discoveries made day by day by the scientific world.
Goals were defined for this paper, such as studying zoonoses and their
forms of transmission, analyzing the human factor and how it impacts the
environment, and pointing out solutions to solve these problems. This
literature review concludes that when humans invade the natural
environment and destroy existing relationships in this place, diseases
transmitted from animals or from the environment itself can arise, which
may or may not cause new pandemics through zoonoses.
