This article explored the role of international health in reducing the impact of infectious diseases by espousing the monumental application of global electronic communication and socioeconomic development initiatives. The interaction between the society and environmental changes have dramatic effects on the frequency of infectious diseases worldwide. Development of dams, human population expansion, migration patterns, urbanization and the invasion of hitherto virgin forests, and global warming enhance the proliferation of vectors of infectious diseases. Sustainable development and emphasis on primary prevention initiatives, coupled with the application of technology to improve farming, provision of safe water and electrification of rural communities, are significant steps in infectious disease control.
本文探讨了国际卫生在减轻传染病影响方面的作用，倡导全球电子通信和社会经济发展倡议的重大应用。社会与环境变化之间的相互作用对全球传染病的发生频率产生了巨大影响。水坝建设、人口增长、移民模式、城市化、对原始森林的开垦以及全球变暖都加剧了传染病传播媒介的繁殖。可持续发展以及对初级预防倡议的重视，再加上应用技术改善农业、提供安全饮用水和实现农村社区电气化，都是控制传染病的重要举措。
