Viral pandemics: General aspects of three zoonoses of medical importance

Keywords: zoonoses, molecular diagnostic, epidemiology, pandemic

Abstract

The current situation faces us with a health problem of global proportion, understanding the general implications of a viral pandemic will allow a better comprehension of the processes that generate them. This work shows historical aspects about the emergence of three pandemic viral zoonoses. In addition, shown the standardized methods of diagnostic and relevant social and economic aspects to understand the impact that this type of disease has on humanity. If currently only 0.1% of the viruses’ diversity that affect mammals is known, there is a high probability that the next pandemic will be among those unknown viruses.
