Not all infectious disease outbreaks undergo full epidemiological investigations. In certain situations, the resultant lack of knowledge has led to the development of epidemics and public health emergencies. This review will examine six emerging pathogens including their history, present status, and potential to expand to epidemics. Recommendations to improve our understanding of these hidden outbreaks and others also will be provided in the context of health systems policy.
并非所有传染病暴发都进行全面的流行病学调查。在某些情况下，由此导致的知识缺乏导致了传染病和突发公共卫生事件的发生。本综述将考察六种新出现的病原体，包括它们的历史、现状及其扩大为流行的潜力。还将在卫生系统政策的背景下，就如何更好地了解这些隐性暴发和其他暴发提出建议。
