Emerging or re-emerging viral infections significantly affect human health. In recent decades, we have observed the emergence of new diseases in different geographical areas caused by a large number of highly pathogenic viruses belonging to the families Filoviridae, Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Coronaviridae, Flaviviridae, Togaviridae and Hepeviridae. All of them have a zoonotic origin. Climatic and environmental changes, population mobility, uneven population density, unequal sanitary conditions, change in animal habitats and anthropophilic vectors have led to increased pressure on the host-pathogenenvironment system. The more we impact on the nature, the more likely we are to disrupt ecosystems and create conditions for diseases to develop and spread. Conclusion: The possibility suggested by the last pandemic is that only linking the One health approach to the infectious spectrum, dietary interventions, factors determining human susceptibility to infections, vaccinations-universal, unrelated and local, testing platforms for potential pathogens, pre- and probiotics will help us better deal with such challenges. All of them can help us in developing effective control and protection measures against viral pathogens. Differences in emerging and reemerging infections must be considered. Knowing and properly using the negative interactions between viral and bacterial pathogens and the human microbiota and inhibiting their positive interactions will help us in combining pharmacological, nonpharmacologicaland dietary interventions in the personalized treatment of patients with diseases caused by viral pathogens.
