It’s say a combination of human and natural changes is forcing mankind to prepare for deadly epidemics.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing the world’s second worst outbreak of EBOLA just three years after West Africa lost more than 11 000 people in the worst  outbreak.

Experts say ease and speed of travel is making the spread of EBOLA, cholera and yellow fever easier.

And urbanisation is amplifying the incubation and  spread of diseases.

Conflict is endangering  those involved vaccination and treatment. 

Global warming is causing flooding and  the destruction of forests which is driving humans into closer contact with disease-carrying animals.
