Abstract EN
Infectious diseases are a significant burden on public health and economic stability of societies all over the world.
They have for centuries been among the leading causes of death and disability and presented growing challenges to health security and human progress.
The threat posed by infectious diseases is further deepened by the continued emergence of new, unrecognized, and old infectious disease epidemics of global impact.
Over the past three and half decades at least 30 new infectious agents affecting humans have emerged, most of which are zoonotic and their origins have been shown to correlate significantly with socioeconomic, environmental, and ecological factors.
As these factors continue to increase, putting people in increased contact with the disease causing pathogens, there is concern that infectious diseases may continue to present a formidable challenge.
Constant awareness and pursuance of effective strategies for controlling infectious diseases and disease emergence thus remain crucial.
This review presents current updates on emerging and neglected infectious diseases and highlights the scope, dynamics, and advances in infectious disease management with particular focus on WHO top priority emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and neglected tropical infectious diseases.
