Abstract

Many illnesses may not respond to preventive actions and will be difficult to anticipate. When the community, nation or world fails to get rid of a health risk, then people need to live with the disease causative agents and the disease itself. Effective adaptation methods can greatly help to keep infected and non-infected people apart, thereby reducing the spread of diseases in the environment. This chapter discusses some of the adaption ideas, practices and strategies the world has witnessed to live with environmental diseases.
