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 and parasitic), which have spread death and disability among millions of the planet’s inhabitants. The increase in 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 other animals. It must be taken into account that this increase in infectious entities has not been, nor is it something casual, but rather the consequences of human mismanagement of ecosystems.
