Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Biosecurity

Background:

  • Highly contagious diseases range from known pathogens to novel agents like SARS and potential bioterror threats.
  • Factors influencing disease spread are expanding beyond traditional agent, host, and environment to include globalization and communication systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the evolving landscape of infectious disease control.
  • To highlight the need for improved management skills in the face of emerging and re-emerging diseases.
  • To examine challenges in implementing public health plans for diseases like smallpox.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current infectious disease control paradigms.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to disease emergence and re-emergence.
  • Case study of national and federal smallpox control plans.

Main Results:

  • Globalization and advanced communication systems significantly impact infectious disease spread.
  • Existing public health frameworks require adaptation to manage novel and re-emerging infectious threats.
  • Implementation of control plans faces organizational, logistical, and financial hurdles.

Conclusions:

  • Public health services, clinicians, and practitioners need new skills for modern infectious disease management.
  • Effective control of emerging and re-emerging diseases requires a comprehensive approach addressing global and societal changes.
  • Lessons from smallpox control planning underscore the importance of robust logistical and financial preparedness.
