consider some of the ways population growth has impacted on the ability of infectious diseases to
spread. increase population growth lead to high population density and urbanization which can
facilitate for diseases spread more quickly among people who live in close proximity to each other
as currently known over half of the global population lives in urban areas and also rural to urban
migration in cities without adequate infrastructure has serious health consequences not the least of
which is the spread of infectious diseases and the suffer from serious environmental health
problems due to inadequate infrastructure and poor access to health services that can impoverished
rural migrants typically live in unusually crowded living conditions as a result of housing costs and
relatively large family sizes which further contribute to the spread of communicable diseases
especially infants in poorer and more crowded portions of cities are at high risk than infants in more
affluent neighborhoods to die from diseases such as tuberculosis and typhoid. moreover many
young women who migrate to cities in search of economic opportunity are able to gain economic
security only through the commercial sex trade and men often travel far from home to seek work in
cities where their reliance on the commercial sex trade increases the risk of hiv and other sexually
transmitted diseases. migrants who contract hiv in urban areas generally return to their villages to
be cared for by their families often perpetuating transmission. other health concerns associated
with increased urbanization include lack of access to clean water and sanitation absence of
adequate shelter with more people living in dense conditions there is more frequent contact
between more individuals allowing disease transmission to easily occur. density of population doesn
t itself determine the ease with which infection spreads through a population the main problems
tend to arise primarily when populations become so dense as to cause overcrowding which is often
associated with decreases in quality of living conditions and sanitation and hence the rate of agent
transmission is thus overcrowded cities or densely populated areas of cities can potentially serve as
breeding grounds for infectious agents which may facilitate their evolution particularly in the case of
viruses and bacteria. rapid cycling between humans and other hosts such as rats or mice can result
in the emergence of new strains capable of causing serious disease. generally what expected that in
developing countries is epidemiological transition with improved health and lower mortality rates
will eventually lead to a demographic transition the reductions in mortality characterizing the
epidemiological transition are often associated with controlling the infectious diseases within
populations which leaves the chronic diseases associated with old age cancer and heart disease
dominating the however if the demographic transition does not occur quickly populations can grow
rapidly creating an increased potential for spread of infectious disease. these infectious diseases
could in turn increase death rates amongst young people and reverse the epidemiological transition.
the relationship between population growth size and infection depends upon the changes in contact
pattern associated with there being more people. if facilities can keep pace with growth then the
increase in contact rates can be kept to a minimum and the potential reversal in the epidemic
transition prevented. this makes development a crucial adjunct to population growth if the global
community is not to be increasingly exposed to pandemics of infectious disease. also population
growth overcome migration and global travel which becomes more common for people to travel
throughout the world it also becomes easier for diseases to an outbreak in one region that would
have otherwise been contained can move into other uninfected regions when infected people travel
or relocate to these areas which means migration not only has spread infectious diseases such as
dengue fever into areas where they were not previously seen but also has reintroduced diseases
such as tuberculosis into areas where they had previously been controlled. additionally permanent
migrants change the complexion of infectious disease patterns in the host country. migration
patterns are typically from developing nations to more prosperous areas and residents of these
poor regions generally lack adequate health care nutrition and sanitation making them more
susceptible to contracting infectious diseases and harboring pathogenic microorganisms. beside
those i have mentioned previously population growth can have a contribution to environmental
degradation that can challenges environmentally such as changing climate can lead to the
spreading of diseases especially those that are vector borne or for example the west nile virus is
spread by mosquitoes the vector . as the climate changes the disease carrying mosquitoes are able
to move into regions where they previously could not survive thus affecting new areas. additionally
as global temperatures increase so do the conditions under which many of these carriers can
flourish.
