Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has repositioned, in the focus of epidemiology, zoonosis and environmental issues that favor the appearance and contagion of infectious diseases. Thus, through bibliographic research, using a theoretical-qualitative method. The influence of environmental aspects on the pathogenesis of some infectious diseases, especially Covid-19, was analyzed, and what response can be formulated if the incidence of these environmental factors occurs. It was concluded that the environmental factor and human behavior have been essential in the appearance of several infectious diseases. In this way, only the complex thought can lead to epidemiology to the understanding of the causes, the measures to mitigate the spread and treatment. Therefore, eco-epidemiology and Bioethics approaches were brought up, which consider problems in a totalizing way, integrating new areas of knowledge. Finally, new general Biosafety principles were proposed to deal with zoonotic diseases.
