What Role Does Infrastructure Play in the Spread of Infectious Diseases?
Infrastructure, particularly in urban areas, can influence the spread of infectious diseases. For example, inadequate sanitation and poor water management can lead to outbreaks of diseases such as cholera and typhoid. Congested roadways and public transportation systems can facilitate the rapid spread of airborne diseases like influenza and COVID-19. Therefore, improving transportation infrastructure is essential for controlling the spread of infectious diseases.
