An analysis of the health hazards, challenges, and social issues linked to emerging infectious diseases.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), avian flu, the Ebola virus, and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are increasingly attracting the attention of scientists, risk managers, the media, and the general public. Specialists analyse the ecological, social, institutional, and political dynamics associated with emerging infectious diseases. They show the challenges but also the opportunities faced by the players confronting these diseases.
