Emerging diseases are a major threat to modern societies, impacting
individual welfare as well as economic development. The trend of
newly emerging diseases has accelerated in the last two decades to
such an extent that a new emerging infection is described at least
once a year. The majority of such threats to modern society have
been due to emergent viruses. This series of lecture notes provides
grounding in understanding the drivers of disease emergence, the
molecular processes which allow for virus diversity, the response
of the host and environmental factors responsible for changing the
balance between host and pathogen. Groups of viruses are described,
each selected to illustrate certain features of disease emergence.
These examples best illustrate how from past experience we may best
be able to predict future outbreaks of novel diseases. Expecting
the unexpected is a major challenge for health care personnel and
public health officials alike, and the stakes have never been
higher. As such, this book provides a timely overview of how best
to prepare for disease emergence as it intends to increase
awareness of how vulnerable modern society is in preparedness for
such events.
