Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), News Searchable Keywords: Disease reservoirs Disease transmission Emerging infectious diseases Human health Wildlife Zoonoses Abstract: From article (free full-text available): Emerging infectious diseases have been creeping up the research agenda since at least 1992, when the US Institute of Medicine defined them as infectious diseases that have recently increased in incidence or geographical range, recently been discovered, or are caused by newly evolved pathogens. Diseases that have recently moved into new species can be added to this defining list. More recently, the emergence of diseases with high case fatality rates?such a...

Animal Movements and the Spread of Infectious Diseases [Review] Show Full Record 1483
Source: Trends in Microbiology. 2006 Mar;14(3):125-31. Epub 2006 Feb 7. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Epidemiology Infectious diseases Methods Outbreaks Veterinary medicine Zoonoses Abstract: Abstract (online abstract only): Domestic and wild animal population movements are important in the spread of disease. There are many recent examples of disease spread that have occurred as a result of intentional movements of livestock or wildlife. Understanding the volume of these movements and the risks associated with them is fundamental in elucidating the epidemiology of these diseases, some of which might entail zoonotic risks. The importance of the worldwide animal trade is reviewed and t... ![[PDF]](images/icons/pdf.gif "Adobe Reader File"){kind=icon} Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) [Fact Sheet] Show Full Record 1706

These diseases are caused by specific viruses. On several occasions, these viruses have crossed into people and caused infections, but such occurrences have been rare. For the AI viruses, human infections have typically been self-limiting and without deaths. However, in 1997, an H5N1 AI virus in Hong Kong caused 18 hospita... |
