Discuss why emerging diseases are appearing in industiralized countries.

Solution

Emerging diseases are appearing in industiralized countries because of growing population and changing environmental conditions. Industrialization leads to more pollution with the use of advanced technology which might be providing favorable conditions for the new virus or bacteria to replicate fast.

Emerging\" infectious diseases can be defined as infections that have newly appeared in a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Among recent examples are HIV/AIDS, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Lyme disease, and hemolytic uremic syndrome (a foodborne infection caused by certain strains of Escherichia coli)

Industrialization leads to release of greenhouse gasses. The ecology of the earth is changing as a result of modern technology.. The release of greenhouse gases on a large scale as byproducts of industrial processes, with the resultant global warming, is expected to lead to the exuberant growth of plants and algae as well as massive changes in climate. Each of these may affect the distribution of microorganisms, their pathogenic range, their virulence and their ability to become inadvertent parasites.

Pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) cause ozone depletion, which threatens people by allowing increased exposure to ultraviolet rays. It is also possible that increased concentrations of ultraviolet light may help to select or mutate microorganisms
