Abstract

The world has witnessed an alarming rise in the emergence of infectious diseases, posing profound challenges to public health, ecological balance, and global well-being. Displacement of people and the destabilization of ecosystems create conditions that significantly amplify the risk of disease outbreaks. In this Voices, we ask: how has anthropogenic environmental disturbance impacted the likelihood of disease outbreaks?
