Facing pandemics from past to present

Abstract

An outbreak means a sudden rise of the incidence of a disease, generally infectious, at a certain place over an extended period of time. The term pandemic is used when an outbreak is spreading on a global scale. By the past, Human has been able to face several pandemics by developing preventive and therapeutic strategies. The new societal and economic behaviour enhance the progression of old and new diseases. The development of new multidisciplinary approaches is necessary to prevent new pandemic episodes.
