James Cook University Professor Bruce Gummow is a specialist in Veterinary Preventative Medicine (Epidemiology). He is the co-author of a study with Mahidol University in Thailand, of the interaction between waste, animals and the millions of people who make their living as garbage pickers\u2014scouring rubbish dumps for material to resell or reuse.<\/p>\n<p>The paper is published in the journal One Health. He said an increasing trend in epidemics from zoonotic diseases, which jump from animals to humans, and emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) has been observed worldwide. He said the team analyzed nearly 350 scientific articles examining aspects of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>He said animals that visit garbage dumps were found to have a high prevalence of infectious diseases and many people who worked as garbage pickers did so in unhygienic, unhealthy conditions and are also generally in poor health. He said garbage dumps may also facilitate the exchange of genetic material among bacteria, leading to the emergence of new, drug-resistant strains. He said a comprehensive examination of the disease ecology within garbage dumps is needed, coupled with sustainable waste management that reduces waste generation, and improves waste collection and disposal.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2024-11-garbage-dumps-pandemic-epidemiologists.html\">Medical Xpress<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-623\/\">Garbage dumps may produce next pandemic, warn epidemiologists<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,16861,1354],"class_list":["post-135221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-garbage-dumps","tag-pandemic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
