Emerging & Infectious Disease

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are newly identified or re-emerging pathogens that pose significant public health threats due to their unpredictable nature and potential for rapid spread. Examples include Ebola virus, Zika virus, and novel influenza strains like H1N1 and avian flu. Factors contributing to their emergence include ecological changes, urbanization, global travel, and microbial evolution. Detecting and responding to EIDs require robust surveillance systems, rapid diagnostic tools, and coordinated international efforts. Effective management involves containment measures, development of vaccines and therapeutics, and public awareness campaigns to mitigate transmission risks and prevent pandemics, highlighting the importance of preparedness and response strategies.
