摘要：

Predictions that infectious diseases would be eliminated as a major threat So human health hare been shattered by emerging and reemerging infections, among them acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), hemorrhagic fevers, marked increases in infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, and the resurgence of tuberculosis and malaria, Understanding the dynamics of emerging and reemerging infections is critical to efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of such infections, to establish policy related to preparedness for infectious threats, and for decisions on where to use limited resources; in the fight against infections. In order to offer at multidisciplinary perspective, 23 infectious disease specialists, epidemiologists, geneticists, microbiologists, and population biologists participated an an open forum at Emory University on emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, As summarized below, the group addressed questions about the definition, the identification, the factors responsible or, and multidisciplinary approaches to emerging and reemerging infections.
