Emerging infectious diseases, biodiversity loss, and anthropogenic environmental change are interconnected crises with massive social ecological costs. In this Review, we discuss how pathogens parasites responding to global change, the implications for pandemic prevention conservation. Ecological evolutionary principles help explain why both pandemics wildlife die-offs becoming more common; land-use loss often followed by an increase in zoonotic vector-borne diseases; some species, such as...
Background Unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) contributes to a high burden of disease exacerbates factors that promote the development antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Enforceable policies are foundational curbing inappropriate use antimicrobials providing safe WASH. While many countries have established National Action Plans for AMR include provisions WASH, few codified these plans into legally enforceable policy. Here, we provide comprehensive map describe current regulatory...
During the Covid-19 pandemic, World Health Organization (WHO) was an important public source of information – not only about but also thousands other potential health emergencies. Here, we examine 242 reports published in WHO Disease Outbreak News (DON) during first four years pandemic (2020 to 2023), and document diseases regions that were reported. We find multinational epidemics like Ebola virus MERS-CoV continue dominate DON. However, recent have seen more climate-sensitive infectious...
Abstract Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, militaries around world mobilized at an unprecedented scale to support domestic response efforts. This was consistent with growing trend of asset mobilization for military operations other than war during public health emergencies.

Abstract During the Covid-19 pandemic, World Health Organization (WHO) was faced with task of regular public updating—about both pandemic itself, and hundreds or potentially thousands other health emergencies. Here, we examined 242 reports published in WHO Disease Outbreak News (DON) during first four years (2020 to 2023), document diseases regions that were reported. We find multinational epidemics like Ebola virus MERS-CoV continue dominate DON. However, recent have also seen more...
Policy epidemiology utilizes human subject-matter experts (SMEs) to systematically surface, analyze, and categorize legally-enforceable policies. The Analysis Mapping of Policies for Emerging Infectious Diseases project collects assesses health-related policies from all United Nations Member States. recent proliferation generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools powered by large language models have led suggestions that such technologies be incorporated into our similar research efforts...
Introduction Countries across the world implemented diverse quarantine and isolation policies throughout COVID-19 pandemic with varying levels of effectiveness. Their widespread use invites new considerations regarding effectiveness domestic policies, ways they are enforced, jurisdictions responsible for ordering these measures. Methods We systematically analyzed legally-enforceable in current standing each United Nations (UN) member state, assessing authorities to isolate individuals within...
