• World Health Organization and Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. (2020) Biodiversity & Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases cause over one billion human infections per year, with millions of deaths each year globally.

This Question and Answers, prepared by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) under their joint work programme on biodiversity and health, and launched on the occasion of the 2020 International Day for Biodiversity, summarizes some of the interlinkages between biodiversity and infectious diseases.
