What Role Does Population Growth Play in Emerging Diseases?
Population growth can lead to increased human-animal interactions, which may result in the emergence of zoonotic diseases. As human populations expand into wildlife habitats, the risk of diseases jumping from animals to humans increases. This phenomenon has been observed in outbreaks of diseases like [Ebola]( ) and [SARS]( ). Monitoring population growth and its impact on disease emergence is crucial for preventing future pandemics.
