Les maladies infectueuses sont responsables de près de la moitié des mortalités dans les pays en voie de développement. La re-émergence d'anciennes maladies et de pathologies résistantes aux médicaments présentent d'énormes défis aux systèmes de santé publique. De nouvelles maladies ont récemment été détectées et sont en train d'être détectées. Cet article suggère qu'une action rapide pourrait contrer une propagation à échelle épidémique.
