OUR COMMON ENEMY: COMBATTING THE WORLD'S DEADLIEST VIRUSES TO ENSURE EQUITY HEALTH CARE IN DEVELOPING NATIONS 2009-02-19 .txt text/plain 5291 231 44 Of the emerging viruses, five have particular importance for what scientists and world leaders can learn concerning their impact on geopolitical stability, human rights, and equity health care for the underprivileged in both developed and developing nations. For example, in Latin America, population growth and uncontrolled migration from the countryside to the cities have resulted in poor housing conditions, inappropriate disposal of waste, and lack of adequate food, clean water and health care-all of which are concurrent with an increase in infected mosquitoes carrying different versions of dengue virus (Torres and Castro 2007) . Continuing with these themes, it is clear that the geographical expansion of three viruses (HIV, dengue, and rotavirus), the increase in frequency of the infectious diseases they cause, and the relationship between these viruses and geopolitical stability, human rights, and equity health care for developing nations are problems of great concern promoted not only by biological and technological factors but also by social, religious, and cultural ones. ./cache/cord-309489-ubf55eux.txt ./txt/cord-309489-ubf55eux.txt
