The Influence of Global Environmental Change on Infectious Disease Dynamics

This volume explores the scientific and policy implications of the impacts of global environmental change on infectious disease emergence, establishment, and spread. The book examines the observed and potential influence of environmental factors, acting both individually and in synergy, on infectious disease dynamics.

The book considers a range of approaches to improve global readiness and capacity for surveillance, detection, and response to emerging microbial threats to plant, animal, and human health in the face of ongoing global environmental change.
