How does globalization impact the spread of infectious diseases?
Globalization significantly impacts the spread of infectious diseases by facilitating their transmission through travel, trade, and migration. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly became a global crisis due to international travel. Similarly, the spread of diseases like SARS, Ebola, and Zika virus illustrate how pathogens can quickly move from one country to another, leading to outbreaks in regions previously unaffected.
