The aim of this paper is to illustrate the nexus between health and security, dealing, in particular, with the impact of epidemics and pandemics on global security. Firstly, it sheds light on the various shapes that the bidirectional link between health and security can assume. Secondly, it describes the threats posed to global security by three major virus epidemics – HIV/AIDS, Ebola and Covid-19 – with a focus on the European security environment.
