What is most frequently analysed are the patterns and the causes of migrations, the entity of trafficking, the consequences at a socio-political level of these phenomena. Nevertheless, there is an aspect that it is often forgotten: humans are not the only ones who migrate. Germs and bacteria " hosted " within the human body travel together with men, posing serious risks in the country of destination and causing great changes in the whole world. This paper takes in consideration what has been referred to a " nano-level " of analysis in order to understand the impact that microorganisms had on the history of humanity and can have at the present. In a world that is always more interconnected, virus and bacteria can spread at a faster pace, urging the governments to shape accordingly their healthcare policies. The new challenges to world security, such as migration and human trafficking, should be analysed and addressed to also as phenomena able to contribute to infective disease diffusion.
