Globalization is the growing link and interdependence of peoples, countries and economies around the world. Its the transfer of goods, services, information, culture and, of course, people across borders faster and more often than ever before. The spread of infectious disease: globalization. Globalization provides greater risk for the spread of disease because it encourages people to come into contact with other people over extended distances as they travel and migrate. Travel and migration: People travel from nation to nation (by airplane and ship, for example) and can bring pathogens with them – sometimes with no symptoms. Trade and transportation: Goods carried worldwide can harbor disease vectors like insects or contaminated materials. Urbanization: Economic growth across the globe often results in increased urban density leading to crowded cities making it easy for diseases to spread. Environmental changes: Growing trade and development can fragment ecosystems, making people more likely to encounter new disease. Where globalization was a significant force, historically. Globalization has had an impact on disease spread over the last few centuries. But its effect has only grown more acute over time with the further advance of transportation and trade:

Early trade routes: Networks like the Silk Road linked Asia, the Middle East and Europe and enabled diseases like the Black Death to spread across continents in the 14th century. Colonial expansion: European explorers and colonizers spread diseases like smallpox to the Americas. This devastated Indigenous peoples who had no immunity. Industrial development and modern travel: The appearance of steamships, trains and, afterward, airplanes increased the speed with which diseases could travel around the world. Modern globalization: Today, tightly connected worldwide networks have facilitated the rapid spread of diseases such as COVID-19, which spread to almost every country within months.
