Infectious diseases, both new and old, have had a devastating impact on the planet. Nearly 14 million people have died as a result of these diseases. Epidemics and pandemics are possible outcomes of these developing infectious illnesses. Viruses have been responsible for several pandemics and a great deal of harm throughout history. These infectious agents will always be on the lookout for humans to infect. We may, however, use scientific methods to prevent them. In 2015, the World Health Organization proposed the names of ten possible viruses that could cause the next epidemic and pandemic. All of these viruses have struck in the previous two decades, wreaking havoc around the globe. Humans are still infected by some of them. Surveillance is essential for detecting and responding to these infectious organisms. The application of molecular technology, as well as phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses, has shown that we may predict outbreaks and so prevent them. The application of genomic epidemiology in the development of therapies and reducing the spread of infectious illnesses is becoming more common. The World Health Organization and the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network have proposed a response approach to impacted countries. The GOARN team must reach in such nations within 24 hours in the event of an emergency outbreak. Control measures have been put in place to prevent the spread of current outbreaks as well as the occurrence of future outbreaks. The purpose of this work is to explain to the readers the importance of knowledge and attentiveness so that they can play a role in preventing epidemics.
