Abstract

The chapter focuses on the interrelation of viruses in this epoch of great acceleration, also known as the Anthropocene. The increased frequency of viral pandemics and epidemics globally is a by-product of the Anthropocene. The severity of epidemics and pandemics have increased, which has magnified the number of cross-species responsible for various infectious diseases that have arisen because of the accelerated frequency of viruses around the globe. As the Anthropocene unfolds, it increases environmental instability, which provokes the microbial population. The frequent evolution and mutations among the viruses are also becoming more prominent. This scenario is rising progressively, and it is a major concern for the scientific world regarding human existence in the future. Globally, implementation of “One Health Approach” should be proposed to understand the current concern of the Anthropocene and emerging new viruses.
