Monitoring the disease status of a nation has long been considered of great importance in helping to decrease the spread of disease to the population. In recent years it can be said that there are no borders as regards Infectious Diseases with the increase in global travel and mass migration of people, with large numbers of people considered as displaced. This has lead to the introduction of new diseases in countries that previously had no experience of them as well as the re emergence of diseases that had been considered controlled. During the past 5 years Malta and the rest of Europe has seen an increase in various infectious diseases such as TB, HIV, other STIs, vector borne diseases as well as outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases notably measles. Collaboration and cooperation between European countries is essential to control and manage these events. Robust surveillance data is critical to monitor and inform the public health response in an accurate and timely fashion. ; peer-reviewed

In any discussion of the great challenges facing humanity in addressing global environmental problems, a small number of topics automatically rise to the top: climate change, the loss of biodiversity, and the sustainability of the services ecosystems provide us. But no threats to human welfare are more urgent than those posed by infectious diseases; we suffer already the devastating consequences of the emergence of new diseases such as HIV, the reemergence of old ones such as tuberculosis, and simply the increasing toll of endemic diseases such as malaria. Non-human animals play fundamental roles in the spread of many of these diseases – as reservoirs, as vectors, and as cauldrons for the creation of new types. Land-use practices and environmental management both affect the persistence and spread of endemic diseases, such as malaria. Furthermore, as animal populations increase their ranges, due to climate change and human-facilitated alien introductions, the potential for disease spread also increases. These factors, together with the increasing mobility of the human population, conspire to make these environmental problems of great and immediate concern.

"The purpose of this book is to summarize and present the topics specifically relating to emerging and remerging infections in India, the well known subcontinent. Due to the globalization in the present day, the change in the epidemiology of diseases from one site to the others all around the world can be expected. Indian story is the focus of interest in medicine. The summative on the common infectious problems in the tropical countries can be and should be performed. This work can be a useful reference material for the practitioners who are not familiar to the unique problems of the developing world and might face up with those problems due to the possible migration of diseases. This book can make them at least realize and familial with the problems."--Publisher's description

From SARS to avian influenza, Ebola virus and MERS-CoV, infectious diseases have received increasing attention in recent decades from scientists, risk managers, the media and the general public. What explains the constant emergence of infectious diseases? What are the related challenges? In five chapters, experts from different scientific fields analyse the ecological, social, institutional and political dynamics associated with emerging infectious diseases. This book discusses how the concepts, scientific results and action plans of international or governmental organizations are constructed and coordinated. In clear straightforward language, this book explores the continuities and discontinuities that occur with emerging infectious diseases, both in terms of collective action and in our relationship to the biological world.
