When will the next pandemic arrive? For wildlife, it’s already here. The Nature of Pandemics explores an unspoken truth: how our actions are driving wildlife pandemics across the world. Highlighting the interconnectedness of human, (non-human) animal and environmental health, it examines historical and contemporary pandemics and considers the importance of conservation and restoration efforts, presenting a compelling case for rethinking how we approach pandemic prevention.

La contaminazione esprime la paura di essere invasi da qualcosa o da qualcuno e mette in crisi la nostra singolarità. Esiste dai tempi più lontani: la ritroviamo nel Noli me tangere di Gesù nel Vangelo e nel cristianesimo con il rito del battesimo che toglie i peccati dell'uomo, ma anche in altre religioni, nelle caste degli intoccabili, nella presunta purezza dell'ordine nobiliare e nella discriminazione delle razze. Una concordanza fondata su elementi biologici che la paura del virus ha attivato, facendo presa dunque sulla costituzione generale ed essenziale della specie umana.

Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.” This is one of those times when history has sped up. CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria helps listeners to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic impacts that may take years to unfold. In the form of 10 straightforward “lessons”, covering topics from globalization and threat-preparedness to inequality and technological advancement, Zakaria creates a structure for listeners to begin thinking beyond COVID-19.

Growing up in a New Jersey factory town in the 1980s, Daisy Hernández believed that her aunt had become deathly ill from eating an apple. No one in her family, in either the United States or Colombia, spoke of infectious diseases, and even into her 30s, she only knew that her aunt had died of a rare illness called Chagas. But as Hernández dug deeper, she discovered that Chagas - or the kissing bug disease - is more prevalent in the United States than the Zika virus.

When molecular biologist Becky McClain raised urgent alarms about biosafety lapses at her biotech lab at Pfizer, she expected concern—not retaliation.

The problem with pandemics is that people want to forget them. One year, a million Americans are killed by a deadly new virus. The next, everyone is back rooting for the Georgia Bulldogs. The impulse to move on from this particular kind of tragedy is more than a little odd.

Sono organi raffinatissimi e delicati: sintetizzano, inventano, determinano il miracolo della vita. Sono i nostri polmoni, leggeri e preziosi, la loro attività non si può fermare nemmeno il tempo necessario per curarli, perché nessuno sopravvive senza ossigeno, nessuno può stare più di pochi minuti senza respirare. Quando un nuovo virus sconosciuto e letale ha cominciato a insidiare proprio i polmoni, ci siamo accorti che la maggior parte di noi li conosce pochissimo: come funzionano, cosa occorre per mantenerli in salute e cosa li mette in crisi?

Die weltweit renommierte Virologin Isabella Eckerle über die Sprengkraft von Virus-Infektionen - ein hochaktuelles Wissenschafts-Sachbuch über Zoonosen, Pandemien und die globale Gesundheit. AIDS, Ebolafieber, Rinderwahn, Vogelgrippe, Affenpocken, SARS-CoV-2 – allesamt gefährliche Virus-Erkrankungen. Und jedes Mal wurde das Virus von wildlebenden Tieren wie Fledermäusen auf Menschen übertragen, um dort sein zerstörerisches Werk zu beginnen.

Diferentemente de desastres naturais, cuja destruição está concentrada em uma área limitada por um período de dias, doenças infecciosas têm o terrível poder de destruir o cotidiano das pessoas em escala global, consumindo de forma avassaladora recursos públicos e privados e interrompendo o comércio e o transporte. No mundo de hoje, é muito fácil deslocar pessoas, animais e materiais pelo planeta, mas os mesmos avanços que tornaram as infraestruturas do mundo moderno tão eficientes também transformaram as epidemias e pandemias em situações praticamente inevitáveis.

Em 1918, um novo vírus de influenza, até então restrito às aves, passou a se manifestar também em humanos. Um ano mais tarde, o saldo era de pelo menos 100 mil mortos daquela que ficaria conhecida na história como gripe espanhola, marcando o primeiro grande embate entre a ciência e uma pandemia. Em apenas dois anos o vírus matou mais pessoas do que a Aids em todo o mundo ao longo dos 24 anos desde a sua descoberta, e mais pessoas em um ano do que a peste negra ao longo de um século.
