Effective global response to emerging infectious diseases.
To discuss the global efforts needed to detect and control emerging infections, I will begin with a personal experience. In 1987, a large epidemic of meningococcal meningitis occurred during the haj, the annual pilgrimage of Moslems to Mecca. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent a team of epidemiologists and laboratorians to Kennedy Airport to meet the thousands of pilgrims...

This is typified by a surplus production of interleukin 10 (IL-10), an immunosuppressive cytokine, and a reduced production of g-interferon, a cytokine that activates other immune cells. After treatment, this pa...
متن کاملEmerging Infectious Diseases: Threats to Human Health and Global Stability
The inevitable, but unpredictable, appearance of new infectious diseases has been recognized for millennia, well before the discovery of causative infectious agents. Today, however, despite extraordinary advances in development of countermeasures (diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines), the ease of world travel and increased global interdependence have added layers of complexity to containing...

متن کاملEmerging 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...
