This review highlights some of the recent concerning emerging infectious diseases, a number of them specifically that the World Health Organization has categorized as priorities for research.
Emerging and reemerging infectious diseases account for significant losses in not only human life, but also financially. There are a number of contributing factors, most commonly surrounding human behavior, that lead to disease emergence. Zoonoses are the most common type of infection, specifically from viral pathogens. The most recent emerging diseases in the USA are , the Heartland virus, and the Bourbon virus.
In addition to the aforementioned pathogens, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Nipah virus, New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase-1 , Rift Valley Fever virus, and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus are reviewed. These pathogens are very concerning with a high risk for potential epidemic, ultimately causing both significant mortality and financial costs. Research should be focused on monitoring, prevention, and treatment of these diseases.
本综述重点介绍了近期一些令人担忧的新发传染病，其中一些被世界卫生组织列为研究重点。
新发和再发传染病不仅造成重大人员伤亡，还带来巨大经济损失。导致疾病出现的因素众多，最常见的是围绕人类行为。人畜共患病是最常见的感染类型，特别是由病毒病原体引起的。美国最近出现的疾病有心脏地带病毒和波旁病毒。
除上述病原体外，还对严重急性呼吸综合征、中东呼吸综合征、尼帕病毒、新德里金属β-内酰胺酶-1、裂谷热病毒和克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒进行了综述。这些病原体令人高度担忧，有引发潜在疫情的高风险，最终会导致重大死亡和经济成本。研究应集中在这些疾病的监测、预防和治疗上。
