| The 1992Institute of Medicine (IOM) report "Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States" defined emerging infections as new, remerging, or drug-resistant infections whose occurence in humans has increased within the past 2 decades, or whose incidence will likely increase in the near future. The contemporary literature indentifies that the majority of emerging infections are zoonotic. Veterinary Public Health activities associated with the recognition of new and reemerging infections plus the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination will be discussed. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize the preponderance of zoonoses among emerging infections. 2. Describe challenges associated with the prevention and control of emerging infections. 3. List five zoonotic emerging infections of great concern to Public Health officials. | ||||
