New infectious diseases emerge due to human population growth and social changes. Developing new antimicrobial drugs and treatments is crucial for survival as these selective forces are increasingly understood.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Human population growth, technological advancements, and evolving social behaviors are key drivers for the emergence of novel microbial pathogens.
  • The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases poses a significant threat to global health and survival.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the urgent need for the development of new antimicrobial drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments for emerging infectious diseases.
  • To underscore the importance of understanding the selective forces that drive the emergence of new infectious diseases.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and synthesis of current knowledge on emerging infectious diseases.
  • It analyzes the interplay between human activities and microbial evolution.
