INFECTIOUS DISEASES 1
Impact of travel in spreading diseases
It has been seen that human are able to form contact with the people in recent years due to
urbanization and climate change. This increased contact in the form of travel has become one of
the main forces in spreading disease. In fact history indicates that more number people have died
from disease as compared to war in different continents and country because when infected
people has traveled from one country to other it is carrying disease in the forms of virus, germs
and bacteria (Nakata and Röst , 2015, 1411-56). In recent years, it has been found that swine
flew was first detected in Africa country but soon news started coming out that this disease has
spread in most of the countries and the main reason which came out from research was
movement of people from Africa to various countries. In the similar way various diseases started
spreading all over the world in the same passion.
