Infectious diseases pose a critical threat to global health security with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Many infectious agents have emerged and reemerged in recent decades due to the dynamic host–pathogen interactions, partially driven by anthropogenic selection, niche adaptation and climate change. These factors present major challenges to the public health and agricultural systems through the constant need for the development of cost-effective diagnosis, prevention, and therapeutic strategies, in addition to maintaining real-time epidemiological surveillance. Current control measures based on rapid diagnosis, conventional vaccination, quarantine, and culling of affected animals have not been sufficient to stop those emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, including ASFV in pigs and COVID-19 in humans, from becoming major veterinary public health issues to the globe public health crisis.

In response to this, the Special Issue “Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases” will focus on COVID-19, ASFV, Ebola, Influenza, ZIKA, and other recent bacterial, parasitic, fungal diseases of major veterinary and public health importance. Topics of interest include:

How are emerging infectious diseases different from regular infectious diseases?Emerging infectious diseases are infections that have recently appeared within a population or those whose incidence or geographic range is rapidly increasing or threatens to increase in the near future.
What is emerging and rePIP: Emerging infectious diseases are diseases of infectious origin whose incidence in humans has increased within the past decades or threatens to increase in the near future. The reappearance of a previously known infection after a period of disappearance or decline in incidence is known as re-emergence.
What is an emerging infectious diseases?Emerging infectious diseases can be defined as infectious diseases that have newly appeared in a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range, or that are caused by one of the NIAID Category A, B, or C priority pathogens.
What is the common symptoms of the emerging and reEarly disease symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and fever; later symptoms include intense muscle pain because the larvae grow and mature in those tissues. Fatal cases often show congestive heart failure and respiratory paralysis.
