An emerging infectious disease (EID) refer to infectious diseases that have either newly appeared in a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence, geographic range, or severity due to factors such as environmental changes, antimicrobial resistance, and human-animal interactions. The minority that are capable of developing efficient transmission between humans can become major public and global concerns as potential causes of epidemics or pandemics. Their many impacts can be economic and societal, as well as clinical. EIDs have been increasing steadily since at least 1940. For every decade since 1940, there has been a consistent increase in the number of EID events fr…

The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) is a national center at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the prevention, early detection, and control of infectious disease threats. NCEZID works collaboratively across CDC and with external partners by means of the One Health approach. NCEZID works to protect people from emerging infections, food borne infections, and zoonotic infections (diseases that can jump by means of cross-species transmission from animal to human. The center was established in its present form in 2010. However, its scientific activities and goals trace back to the earlier history of the CDC. NZEZID was created by the i…

Revisiting Animal Reservoirs of Hantavirus and Other Zoonotic Viruses Associated with Cruise Travel: Impact and Prevention.. The sustained growth of international maritime tourism and the expansion of the cruise industry have increased the importance of emerging zoonotic diseases as a significant challenge to global public health. Cruise ships constitute complex epidemiological settings characterized by high population density, rapid international mobility, and constant interaction between humans, animals, and coastal environments, factors that favor the introduction and spread of emerging infectious agents. Potential zoonotic concerns include orthohantaviruses and other zoonotic viruses, s…

Exploring the impacts of wildlife trade on zoonotic spillover and disease outbreaks: A multiple-perspective study.. The emergence of zoonotic pathogens from wildlife poses a major global health threat, contributing to frequent and impactful disease outbreaks. While wildlife trade is recognized as a key driver of zoonotic spillover, no studies have quantitatively assessed how trade volume relates to the occurrence and frequency of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) at a global scale, especially regarding the impact of extreme volumes. This study addresses this gap by conducting a multiple-perspective analysis on country-level yearly zoonotic EID data from 1975 to 2013 using a Bayesian zero-…

Directions for Establishing a Korean National One Health Joint Plan of Action: Focusing on Zoonotic Disease Preparedness and Response.. Objectives This study proposes directions for establishing a Korean National One Health Joint Plan of Action to address health threats arising from complex interactions among humans, animals, and the environment, with a particular focus on zoonotic disease preparedness and response. Methods This study analyzed the six Action Tracks outlined in the One Health Joint Plan of Action proposed by the Quadripartite organizations, comprising the World Health Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, World Organization for Animal Health,…

The eradication of infectious diseases is the reduction of the prevalence of an infectious disease in the global host population to zero. Two infectious diseases have successfully been eradicated: smallpox in humans, and rinderpest in ruminants. As of 2026, the Carter Center International Task Force for Disease Eradication has targeted two human diseases for eradication: dracunculiasis (Guinea worm), and lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis). Other long-running eradication programs that have been attempted are polio, yaws, hookworm, yellow fever, and malaria. The concept of disease eradication is sometimes confused with disease elimination, which is the reduction of an infectious disease's p…
