Viruses without Borders: Deadly Outbreaks of the 21st Century
Abstract
Reza Nassiri
Rapid trends in globalization, increase in population, and genetic diversity of viruses collectively provide grounds for emergence and reemergence of viral outbreaks that are threats to overall continuum of human development. In addition to human factors, environmental factors such as water, soil, mosquito vectors and animals are also contributing to the outbreaks of viral diseases. In the past two decades, we have witnessed some of the deadly viral epidemics of the 21st century such as the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa [1], Yellow Fever outbreak in Angola [2], the 2009 flu pandemic [3].
