Description:Despite advances in public health, medicine, and technology, infectious Diseases remain a major source of illness and death Worldwide. In the United States alone, unexplained deaths resulting from infectious disease agents have an estimated annual incidence of 0.5 per 100,000 persons aged 1-49 years. Emerging and newly recognized infections, such as hantaVirus pulmonary syndrome and West Nile encephalitis, often are associated with life-threatening illnesses and death. Other infectious Diseases once thought to be on the decline, such as pertussis, again are becoming major public health threats. Animals increasingly are being recognized as potential vectors for infectious Diseases affecting humans; approximately 75% of recently emerging human infectious Diseases are of animal origin. Increasing global interconnectivity necessitates more rapid identification of infectious disease agents to prevent, treat, and control Diseases.
