The globalization of the modern singular world has led to a dynamic development of both communicable and non-communicable types of epidemiology. The need to consider pandemics as a tool for civilizational management and evolutionary engineering of public health and consciousness is justified. The closest relationship between the biological reservoirs of renewable strains in animals and humans is shown for historical models of influenza pandemics. The constantly increasing difference in the life expectancy of people and animals turns acquired immunity into an instrument for the evolutionary renewal of mental immunity as a biopsychosociospiritual identity matrix and the basis for the security of the individual and society. The management of new risks and the multimodal navigation of the "viral management" of human evolution are becoming priorities for the modern mental phase of the technological revolution. Particular attention is paid to the integrative forms of assistance based on the synergetic methodology of mental medicine. The peculiarity of the modern hybrid world is a steady increase in the prevalence of all major mental disorders, which is suggested to be designated as a pandemic of mental immunodeficiency. In the model of early childhood psychic traumatization, clinical manifestations of mental immunity dysfunctions as a multimodal interface between personality identity and habitat are described. Thus, the "missing link" between etiopathogenesis and clinical pathoplasty of early symptom formation is found. Block-modular protocols of early intervention based on the technological platform of mental medicine are proposed. The famous expression of Nobel laureate Peter Medawar is appropriately supplemented by the mission of mental medicine, which embodies and implements project models of quality and style, the image and meaning of life in adaptive engineering and self-management of consciousness and health.

Over the past few decades a number of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have disrupted societies throughout the world, including HIV, Ebola, H5N1 (or ”avian flu”) and SARS, and of course the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which spread worldwide to become a global pandemic. As well as EIDs, countries and regions also contend with endemic diseases, such as malaria. There are many factors that have contributed to the rise in, and spread of, EIDs and other diseases, including overpopulation, rapid urbanization, environmental degradation, and antibiotic resistance. Political and cultural responses to disease can greatly affect their spread. The global community needs to defend itself against disease threats: one weak link is enough to start a chain reaction that results in a global pandemic such as COVID-19. Some states take a nationalistic approach towards combating disease; however, international cooperation and meaningful ”viral sovereignty”―empowering countries to create effective health institutions and surveillance systems in order to contain disease―must be considered.

English | ISBN: 1666924830 | 2023 | 228 pages | EPUB, PDF | 396 KB + 2 MB
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weaknesses inherent in the social infrastructure of African states, especially healthcare and social security systems. African states were characterized by a high level of unpreparedness with scientific and technological insufficiency to address the pandemic emergency. This in turn worsened the impact of COVID-19 on all fronts, thus, many African states experienced issues with high mortality rate, rampant job losses, and arbitrary and erratic state responses. Social and Ethical Issues of Global Pandemics: A Southern African Perspective edited by Masake Pilisano Harris and Richard Obinna Iroanya argues that pandemics deepen inequality margins with grave social, legal, and ethical consequences in Southern Africa and beyond. Through empirical and theoretical research, Harris and Iroanya analyze the regulations that were passed during COVID-19 and evaluate the impact and legality of these regulations. The contributors provide information that will help authorities and society appreciate the extent of the effects of the pandemic and its control measures on people’s ways of life in the post-COVID era and beyond.
