Common and Emerging Infectious Diseases in the Animal Shelter

Emerging infectious diseases: opportunities at the human-animal-environment interface.

EmErging infectious diseases (EiDs) range from novel zoonotic infections to infective organisms with new patterns of antimicrobial resistance. in the modern age, the speed at which infections can spread globally and transition into deadly pandemics means that surveillance must be able to monitor infections that have the potential to cause outbreaks and also to capture unknown threats that may e...

emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases: public health perspective

New, emerging, and re-emerging infectious diseases.

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

Microbial pathogens discovered as aetiological agents of human disease over the last 25 years are reviewed. Strengthening of laboratory and public health surveillance is of paramount importance for early detection and management of emerging infectious diseases.

Emerging Infectious Diseases

The complex interaction between a microbial pathogen and a host is the underlying basis of infectious disease. By understanding the molecular details of this interaction, we can identify virulence-associated microbial genes and hostdefense strategies and characterize the cues to which they respond and mechanisms by which they are regulated. This information will guide the design of a new genera...
