Title: Re: What are emergent infectious diseases? How can we control them? Post by: bio_man on Nov 29, 2016 Emerging infectious diseases are infectious diseases that are either increasing in the extent of spread or in the number of cases; sometimes, but more rarely, they are new infections that we have not encountered before. Most often these infectious diseases arise from animals, so they are new to the human species, and often cause rather alarming outbreaks, although they are often limited in size.
