Human population growth, technological advances, and changing social behaviors lead to the selection of new microbial pathogens. Antimicrobial drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments for emerging infectious diseases must be developed. The selective forces that drive the emergence of new infectious diseases, and the implications for our survival, are just beginning to be understood.
人口增长、技术进步和社会行为的变化导致了新的微生物病原体的出现。必须研发针对新发传染病的抗菌药物、疫苗、诊断方法和治疗手段。推动新发传染病出现的选择压力以及对我们生存的影响才刚刚开始被人们所认识。
