Definición

  • Although emerging infections is a relatively new field of study, many of the diseases it researches have beset mankind for centuries and, along with new emerging infections, are the direct causes of more than 15 million deaths worldwide each year. Millions more die as a result of prior infections such as streptococcal rheumatic heart disease or because of the complications associated with chronic infections.
