They are a result of things people do to nature. Disease, it turns out, is largely an environmental issue. Sixty percent of emerging infectious diseases that affect humans are zoonotic â they originate in animals. And more than two-thirds of those originate in wildlife.
Examples include: 1  Infectious diseases, such as AIDS, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever. 2  Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus. 3  Steroid therapy. 4  Blood cancer and other blood diseases, such as Hodgkin's disease and aplastic anemia. 5  Radiation and chemotherapy (treatments for cancer).
