Abstract

The struggle between man and infectious diseases dates back to the very beginning of civilization. Throughout history, mankind has suffered the scourge of an infinite number of entities with varied etiological diversity (viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic), which have spread death and disability among millions of the planet’s inhabitants. The increase of re-emerging and emerging diseases in recent decades has greatly complexified the epidemiological picture at the global level, where the occurrence of several epidemic and pandemic outbreaks has been evident, with marked repercussions on human health and that of the rest of the animals. The current situation that the planet is living, due to the new coronavirus, is one more effect, derived from the bad behavior of anthropogenic activity, accumulated during thousands of years.
