12. Emerging Pathogeneses and Satellite Telemetry: Containing Contagion in the European High North

Author : Alexandra L. Carleton

Published in: Digitalisation and Human Security

Publisher: Springer International Publishing

Abstract

Creating a digital framework for reporting pathogen incidents across the Arctic and Boreal regions is vital in terms of information-sharing, more so than filing reports in specific academic journals or government archives. Regular intervention in relation to species susceptible at higher latitudes is difficult, both because such species may be migratory and wild and because the ethics involved in interventionist studies are accurately strict. Examining the science of emerging pathogeneses in the European High North, this chapter highlights ethical and practical considerations in opening up the northern latitudes. Greater access to endemic sub-Arctic areas may facilitate pathogenic transfer, species survival and, in turn, traditional peoples’ livelihoods. Disease mapping is of considerable value to human security with regards to building both predictive capability and outcome resilience.
