What are Emerging and Infectious Diseases?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) defines infectious diseases as “illnesses caused by germs (such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi) that enter the body, multiply, and cause an infection.” Depending on the disease, there are different ways that it can be spread:

1. From one person to another
2. Through germs carried in air, water, food, or soil
3. By insects, ticks, or animals

Emerging diseases are infections that have increased recently or are threatening to increase in the near future. These infections could be

1. Newly discovered
2. Completely new to an area
3. Reappearing in an area
4. Caused by bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics
