Global infectious diseases have repeatedly triggered serious public health crises, sounding urgent alarms worldwide. Combating disease outbreaks, epidemics, and unprecedented pandemics - including the current SARS coronavirus, as well as persistent threats like tuberculosis, cholera, malaria, Ebola, Zika, and avian influenza - requires interdisciplinary research methods and international collaboration.
In our fast-evolving, interconnected world, increased human mobility, trade, urbanization, and environmental changes enable pathogens to spread rapidly across populations and borders. An infectious disease emerging in one nation can quickly become a worldwide concern. Compounding this challenge, microbes continuously evolve resistance to current antibiotics and treatments, causing the re-emergence of old illnesses and the appearance of novel threats.
