Abstract
The development of antibiotics, improved access to safe food, clean water, sewage disposal and vaccines has led to dramatic progress in controlling infectious diseases. Despite these remarkable achievements, infectious diseases remain the leading causes of death in many parts of the world. Emerging diseases, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, SARS coronavirus, and avian and swine influenza viruses have been identified and some have become established in both the developed and developing world.
