ABSTRACT

The history of humankind has been a battle against infectious diseases, and highly lethal viral infections have appeared many times. Even in Japan, one-fourth of the population was lost due to smallpox during the Nara period. In the modern era, effective vaccines and drugs were developed, and everyone was optimistic that infectious diseases could be eradicated from the earth by the end of the 20th century. However, infectious diseases such as AIDS, influenza, SARS, and MERS emerged. In particular, the novel coronavirus pandemic that occurred in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 exposed the vulnerability of modern society to infectious diseases. Furthermore, infectious diseases are undergoing significant changes due to human factors such as globalization and the destruction of nature. In this review, I would like to outline the infectious diseases that humans have experienced so far and introduce the fight against the new coronavirus and future infectious disease countermeasures.Alternate :抄録人類の歴史は感染症との戦いであり、致死性の高いウイルス感染症が幾度となく出現し、日本でも奈良時代に天然痘により当時の日本の人口の4分の1が失われた。近代に入ると有効なワクチンや薬剤が開発され、20世紀中には地球上から感染症を根絶できると誰もが楽観視していたが、エイズ、インフルエンザ、SARS、MERS等の感染症が出現し、特に、2019年の暮れに中国武漢で発生した新型コロナウイルスのパンデミックは猖獗を極め、現代社会がいかに感染症に対して無力であるかを思い知らされた。さらに、グローバリゼーションや自然破壊等の人的要因によって感染症は大きく変容している。本稿では、これまでに人類が経験した感染症を概説し、新型コロナウイルスとの戦い、そして今後の感染症対策について解説したい。
